Our mission team on the steps of the cathedral in downtown Santa Cruz.
This picture is in the cathedral. It is difficult to see, but this picture is of a glass coffin that holds an image of Jesus. There is much knowledge of Jesus' death, but the story of the resurrection is absent.
This is a Jesus film showing in the neighborhood's central square on our first night in Monterro.
Patty is ready to work on our first day of construction. The massive dirt pile behind her is what we will use to level the floor of the church building.
This is a slightly disgusting picture of Luke's feet following the first day of construction. We worked hard and have the dirty clothing, hands, and feet to prove it!
These are the bricks for the floor of the new church building.
This is another Jesus Film showing in another part of the neighborhood on Monday night.
Here we are working hard on our second day of construction. We are trying to move the dirt to level the floor of the building.
Here is Katherine hard at work shoveling away at the dirt pile.
We used anything we could to move the dirt, even using some spare buckets.
Here is Allison moving a wheelbarrow to move the dirt. She only fell once or twice going up the hill.
Josh (in the red) is playing King of the Hill.
Allison and Katherine are excited about lunch. We had a traditional Bolivian food - salteneas!
We had almost 100 children come to the VBS. Here is Patty getting ready to lead some of the children in "Father Abraham."
Here Patty is telling the story of creation and the fall while Andrew, her brother, translates.
This is a pretty blurry picture of use showing the Jesus film in a street by the new church building.
Here we are with our brick assembly line.

On Wednesday, we did a puppet show at VBS.
Here are some of the students in craft groups.
Here is the rooster that keeps us up at night. He has issues with knowing the correct time because he starts crowing at 3AM.
This is the sign for the university where where we shared Christ with the students on Thursday and Friday.
Allison and Katherine with some of our Bolivian sisters in Christ who helped us by translating throughout the week.
Here we are eating lunch on Thursday.
Katherine, Allison, and Patty are playing with some of the children from VBS.
Some of the boys from VBS. They are running around 24/7 - exhausting to say the least. They are precious though!
