Jeff's back online

Hola everyone!!! I am back on my computer!!! The only issue is that now all of my computer controls are in Spanish! It will definitely help me in the language department!

Well, Susan has now taught several classes, Delaney has started her on-line schoolwork, and
I have been given my first of many missions. My first job is to rehab some old dorms into clean living space for the “Engineers without Borders” crew coming down in 2 weeks from South Dakota State University (Go Jackrabbits!). This kind of reminds me of the Bible when God made the heavens and the earth in 6 days, except that God got the easier job! All kidding aside, I will have a small army of students providing the labor, and I will provide the expertise. 

We have taken a BUNCH of pictures and these can be seen at: Bolivia 2013 Slideshow Susan has been busy getting them uploaded (this is in progress, so keep checking back on that link, there are about 400 pictures, so she is having to upload them in groups.) I have been busy taking more! I think I have the easier job, as there are so many breathtaking views around our quiet little campus.

I am reminded of the presence of God every day in the smallest of things, the insects, to the largest, some of the Andes peaks we can see from Coroico. I am so glad that we have been able to come here and just be God’s presence in the lives of the students, and have them share in our lives as well. We are truly blessed to have friends out there that are thinking about us, praying for us, and just being there for us. We could not have made this trip without so many blessings having first been bestowed upon us.

We will try to post more often, now that school has gotten under way. We will probably only post pictures once a week, due to the bandwidth required for that operation!

We love each and every one of you, and ask for continued support in prayers, thoughts, and continued sharing of this mission through our blog, Face book posts, and pictures!

Benedicion y la paz!!

Jeff
