Hello, all!
In an effort to take my mind off how impatient I am for Carlos and Jeremy to get back, I have been helping out at my church´s Vacation Bible School. As you may recall or be aware of, it is summer down here, so kids are off of school for quite a while.
I have enjoyed parts of the VBS. Not so much the singing-and-actions part, because I actually get quite out of breath doing that! The altitude is still affecting me strangely. But it's fun meeting more kids from the neighbourhood. In particular, the little fellow in the orange and brown sweater, Brayan, has completely stolen my heart.
For part of the afternoon, we are at the church for singing and the Bible lesson, and then we all hold hands and trot down to the property where our house stands. There is a small soccer field, and also a trampoline, and the kids love to play here. Only one day have we been rained out (it is rainy season).
The other gringo in the photos is a guy from England, Ed, who is here for a month to work with some VBSs around La Paz. He's a natural with the kids!
That's all for now,
Love,
Rachael

Easy to see why the little fellow in the orange & brown sweater would steal your heart :)
I presume all the hearts must be filled on your calendar and Carlos & Jeremy have arrived back safely.
Guess that means you're back to the school library again this week too.
Wishing you a great week,
Beth
Sorry to hear you can't get all the way into some singing-and-actions! Brayan looks like distilled essence of munchkin.
The most important thing to teach children is the proper use of a three-person water balloon slingshot.
Oh right, so they can put holes right through double-paned windows, Dan? :)
