New Friends and Apartment


The first picture is of Andrew Bloomfield. He has become a wonderful friend and helper. Andrew is from California and is a bundle of energy. He is absoutely fantastic with the students. Andrew, Debie and I are the only ones at the Learning Center who have not taught here before however Andrew, who is with New Tribes, taught in Korea last year so he has more experience teaching on the Missions field than we do.


The next picture is with Kurt Zimmerman. He has taught here for 15 years and has been a wonderful mentor with his wife Cynthia. They have 5 children with one being in college in the States with the others in school here. In the picture we are at a large market place. This is where I bought Debie a microwave, pots and pans and me a TV.


This picture is of the front gate to the compound. There is a fence all around it. There are 7 apartments inside this compound that belong to WGM, the missions that we are with. It is about a 3-5 minute walk to the school.


The next pic is a parital of where we are living. The section to the left is where Zimmerman's live. There is one more apartment in this complex on the other side.


Here is another pic of the same but further away.


This pic is the front entrance into our apartment.


Here is another view from the side.


This is the site we had out our kitchen widow last Sunday as we were getting ready to go to church. We go to Trinity International Church. The service is in English and it is about 8-10 minute walk from our apartment. It is much like our services at IHCC.


This is a pic of another set of apartments. There is two in this complex.


This is the last set that are at the compound. There is two small apartments in this complex.


This is our living room with a couch and a couple of chairs. The door to the right is our front entrance.


This is a view as you come in the front door. At the very end is where I am tonight writing this blog.


This is the kitchen. That is the window we saw the cows out of last week.



These two are of course the bathroom. It has a washer inside this area. The shower is located on the far left.




These last two are the bedroom. It has a couple of chester drawer with a book case. There is also a dryer in our bedroom. You can see a fan but we also have an air conditioner in this room.

That is all for this week. By the way I start coaching boys volleyball this week. I have High School and Middle School. We have one practice for Middle School before our first game and four with the High School. We play some Bolivian schools and they are on a different schedule since this is their winter. They get out for summer break sometime in December. So they have been practicing and we just started school.
Debie is doing great with her Kinder classes. She has 10 students. More later. Out Here.
