Dios Te Bendiga

Hey Everyone,

So day 4 already! The lst couple of days have been so awesome and I can't wait to see what else God has in store for us here.

Last night we went to a city wide young adult service on one of the poorest sides of Cochabamba. We worshiped in spanish but we knew almost all the songs. And let me tell you, You Are Good in spanish is SO COOL! They even had Emily and Bethany come up on stage and sing Open the Eyes of My Heart Lord with them in English while they sang in spanish. It was great because it was worship our language did not matter, we were just prasing God together. One of the best parts was that along with the worship band they had a group of girls that danced with tambourines. It was so amazing because there dance wasn't distracting like so many American dances are but it was just worship and it was a part of thier worship, and it was beautiful.

As a welcome to our team they had us all come to the front and we all recived alpca earflap hats that have llamas on them. It was so humbling because they were really honored to have us there and they wanted to show us that. Then most of them proceeded to come up and greet with benvonitos and kisses(well one kiss on the right cheek)

The rest of the service was great a little hard to understand...it was all in spanish. Pastor Eddie spoke on Gods purpose in our lives, and gave a killer altar call at the end. It was funny because I wondered how I would feel about the entire service in spanish, what can i say my spanish from high school is a bit rusty. But it was really powerful, the presence of God was there and in what Pastor Eddie was saying. Yeah i didn't understand every word but God still spoke to me even through that language barrier. God is so amazing in that way!!!

On Monday we are going back to do a puppet training session for some of the students. They have a big evagilisim event in October and they are using the puppet that we brought. So we did a demonstration in the service. It was pretty funny because this puppet show is ment for little kids and we were performing for high school and college age people. But they laughed, repeated the verses the puppets quoted and really enjoyed it. I was so relived.

So got to head out we are on our way to Church in a few minutes and I'm still in my pjs. But today will be fun we have two church services, one in spanish and one in cechoen( totally misspelled that) And this afternoon we are going to a futbol game...go San Jose!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the prayers... keep them coming!!!

Grace and Peace,

Kaliyah
