A lot has changed-and so have we.

 We are now parents of a ONE year old!


It's a joy to experience life with Sonny and definitely a challenge to depend on the Lord as we try to teach him to be a wise, responsible, respectful, obedient child. 

A vehicle!

Cars are very expensive here (compared to the USA) and although we had some money saved up, we definitely did not have enough for a vehicle that would be big enough to haul around a lot of volunteers and take us on rough roads. The Lord provided a grant to help us pay for an upgrade! (I like it because it has a lot of space for people, lots of cupholders and is a pretty color!) 


Covid-19
Like everywhere else in the world Covid hit us hard! Lots of families have been affected deeply and the Lord has provided for us to be able to help many families and individuals in these days. 

CdR Ministry
We have a really great leadership team, staff and volunteers and we are even more grateful for the opportunities to spend time with them and see how God is working in their lives. We aren't able to be open at normal capacity, but we are finding that this time is allowing us the opportunity to do things we can't normally do when we are open at normal capacity. :) 

Political Unrest

Last October following the presidential elections there were 3 weeks of blockades, conflicts, and lots of tension leading up to the presidents' resignation and flight from Bolivia. We spent Thanksgiving with a new perspective and a deeper gratitude for the peace that the Lord gave (both personally during that time and to the country as a whole following the resolution to the conflicts).  But one thing that hasn't changed is that we still love living here and we are so thankful to all of you who pray, encourage and support us so we can remain here. Thank you!!
