Welcome! On this blog I will regularly (will try very hard) to tell of my life in Santa Cruz, Bolivia while serving with the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC). While the posts may not be eloquent, I will try to convey my experiences, joys, hardships, and steps in faith in a way that will seem like you are in a conversation with me instead of reading a boring report!
Just a quick overview of the next few weeks:
On Friday, August 7, my parents, sister Grace, and Wyatt will drive me the 10 hours to Akron, PA to the MCC headquarters. Orientation with MCC program participants begins Saturday night and I will meet my fellow SALTers who will also be going to Bolivia! After a week of orientation, we will fly out on August 15 and arrive in Santa Cruz on the 16th. Since I know absolutely no Spanish, the MCC is sending us SALTers to a Spanish language school in Cochabamba, which is about a 10 hour bus trip and higher up in the Andes mountains. There we will spend 2 1/2 weeks (Aug. 190Sept. 4) studying Spanish and living with a family. This is a wonderful blessing. I can really focus on learning the language before I start working at the center!
