Happy Election Day!

Hey Everyone!

Today is a big election down here in Bolivia. The big question: will Evo Morales, current president and the first indigenous president in Bolivia's history, get in for another term? Most people seem to think he will, but we shall see.

On election day down here, life basically stops. No public transit, you're not allowed to drive, you're not allowed to gather in groups bigger than ten, no alcohol can be sold...things are at a standstill.

What this means is no church, and basically a day to just relax. I plan to spend mine making snowflakes to decorate the house for Christmas :) We're also having a barbecue with the family next door, so that's fun!

Love to all,
Rachael

And he won...craziness! Glad to hear it was a restful day for you.
You need to check out the sermon Graham preached at Oaklands today-spectacular! And you will laugh.
Glad to hear about the dance lessons:)

Miss you chica.

Love aims

Wow this must have been a killer sermon because I also heard about it. Also, I hope election day was peaceful and that you were not tempted to flagrantly violate the law by congregating in a group larger than ten!

Because that would be irresponsible.

I heard about this sermon too...something about heresy and shameful blasphemy and such and such!

Shocking Pot Stirrer, That GraEME!
