Cochabamba - Bolivia Pastoral Visit to the Arancibia Family with SIM

We have been in Cochabamba for 5 days! Travel went well, we made all of our connections, got through immigration and customs no problem! We had a chance to visit with Camilo's mom, brother and grandmother during our extra long layover in San Salvador.

So far:

- We have been able to set up a few of the Guesthouse rooms with the new duvet covers, Bibles and journals. Thank you TFBC family for your donations!

-On Sunday, we lead a Missions conference at Timara and Osvaldo's old church in a rural community. Timara and I lead the kids program and Camilo gave his testimony and encouraged the congregation. 

-The kids have had a wonderful time playing non stop. The guesthouse is an easy place for them to roam around!

-We have seen a few sites around the city including going up to one of the tallest statues of Christ that looks down on Cochabamba. 

-We have met a variety of missionaries and have learned about their amazing work in Cochabamba.

-We had the opportunity to visit the SIM headquarters and visit the MK school that Jaran is attending.

-We have also been having very much needed prayer time together with both families. We already feel refreshed and blessed by this visit!

What's planned:

-Missions Conferences on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 

-A visit to Hogares de Amor, children's home

-a visit to Mosoj Yan center for young women

-Misc. projects around the guest house. 

Osvaldo and Timara have a lot on their plate running the guesthouse and managing maintenance work on the SIM properties! They seem to be on call 24/7.

They are doing an awesome job making guests feel at home and providing an oasis of rest and retreat for missionaries.

More to come...
