Living like a Bolivian

This Blog is dedicated to Brian's picture journey into Bolivia, South America and some other countries in the same continent. This blog has been made so that friends and family can see what has been and will continue to go on till my return in May. I am not up to date with the pictures, though, so please be patient. Have fun looking at the Pics.

This pizza is the "MOTHER" of all pizzas! It tastes really good too :-)


Here I am pretending to sleep with this drunk bum on the steps near our apt.

J.A.M. (Junior Adventist Missionaries)


We found a very poor neighborhood where people lived in houses that got flooded regularly

Devin and TJ and their friends started this Saturday afternoon outreach



Two Austrian fellows came to work here a while after I arrived. We decided to go 4 wheeling and it was great fun. First time on my own ever.

Jarrod and my first trip to Cerenid


Cerenid is a Home for Street Kids. Its located in the jungle mountains of Bolivia. About a 2 hour drive from Santa Cruz

We climbed a nearby Mountain to take these pictures and some of the kids came up with us.

This was the first of many trips that we have made to Cerenid. I really love it here, I feel like I really am in Bolivia here.

My many different work desks




I got moved around a few times. Its part of being a missionary :-)

Sadly people crawl up this mountain on their hands and knees to (think that this will) forgive their sins. Its about a 1,000 ft hike!
