Life Starts Again

Dearly Beloved,

Well, last Sunday Carlos and Jeremy returned to La Paz! It's so nice to not be living alone anymore! I was so excited that I got up early and made them a nice breakfast, even though they got in at about 7 am. I pumped them for information about all my friends and family in Canada, and was very jealous that they got to see everyone :)

Since then, things are back to normal. I tutor Elisa three mornings a week, and work with Jer less and less in the afternoons. Carlos and I have started jogging again three mornings a week - although our running track has been severely disrupted by a huge chunk of it falling into the river it runs beside. We kind of have to detour now, and watch our footing.

Wonder of wonders, I am now a part of the worship team down here! It's a pretty small team, and most of the time they don't have a female singer, so I got drafted. Which, in my mind, constitutes a miracle, because I have had a microphone-phobia for a long time. As Beto says, the way to stop being afraid of them is to use them!!! I imagine it must be a little funny for the congregation to hear a gringa singing their worship in a funny accent, but I do my best. I'm just learning so many things down here!!

Love to everyone,
Rachael
