Exciting news today:

St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Cedar Falls, IA collected a special offering on Palm Sunday for our Bolivia Fund. What a wonderful blessing to have such caring people thinking and praying about us.

If your church or group is interested in helping with our fundraising, we'd be happy to send you some materials or come and speak. Get on our schedule soon! We'd be so happy to have your help, and any funds not used for trip costs will be donated to the Carmen Pampa Fund at the end of our year. Here is the information on where to send a check:

We've uploaded tons of pictures!!

We were looking through the hundreds of pictures we have from the last time we were in Bolivia, and we thought we'd share with you all. Here's a link where they are all uploaded -- or you can check them out on our Facebook page by liking Come UAC With Us. The album's called Bolivia (oddly enough!) Thanks and God's peace to you all.
