Welcome to Mattix Coffee!!!

Allow me to give you a tour of our latest project--Mattix Coffee! Our friend, Christopher Mattix (hence the name), has been getting ready to open a coffee shop here in Camiri and our family is helping him. My dad is providing expertise from being in the coffee business for almost eighteen years, and I'm doing what I love to do, making coffee and yummy food!


We opened our doors on Tuesday, the 13th. All twenty-two of the Bible school students came in to celebrate! 
Here we are with all of the Bible school students!!! Carol Mattix is on my left and Christopher Mattix is on my right and since it would take too long to name everyone, I'll stop right there!

Now come on in and enjoy the tour!!!

 "The scent that unites us" is our shop quote. I think it sounds much more poetic in Spanish. Let's say it together, one, two, three, "el aroma que nos une." There, don't you think it sounds better?  
 Who wouldn't want to come in with this friendly person to welcome you and make you a delicious coffee? 
 Mirror selfie!!!
 Here is where the perfect coffee is created...
...by the perfect coffee maker, Rudi himself!!
 Hello from afar!!! 
 Our delicious creations, chocolate chip cookies (yumm!) and cuñapés, a kind of cheesy, fatteningly scrumptious Bolivian bread. 
Check out our super cool cups! 

Now come on back to the kitchen, where we make paninis, frappuccinos, baked goods and milkshakes. 

 In case you are
wondering what in the world that red thing is, I'll explain. That is our pump system for the espresso machine, and the cause of many headaches for Daddy! 
The picture shows our panini grill (an amazing invention!) and the blender that we brought from the US. He and I are old enemies. However, we have been getting along better recently. 

And, last but not least, the freezer, where we keep our mammoth containers of ice cream, our ice cube makers, ham, cheese, and frozen cuñapés.

If you get a happy feather to come down and see us, I'll make you a coffee on the house, and I may even throw in a panini de cuñapé!!! :-) 

I hope you enjoyed the tour of Mattix Coffee! 

The grand opening is on the twenty fourth, so stay tuned for more!!!

This is one of my favorite promises!

Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

A hike in the Carpathians- Europe Trip Part VII

Image
I love hiking. But this hike was gnar. It was very difficult, steep, gasp-inducing, and muscle burning.  This might be my favorite shot of the whole trip.   Resting at the top with my hiking partner Samara!  The jumping shots!  I'm not sure about all that.   Food is always good on top of a mountain.   Kevin entertained us with a backflip.  On the way home, we visited a gorgeous waterfall. Here are some of the beautiful Booher ladies! Oh and by the way, even though the hike was extremely difficult, it was well worth the pain! I'm almost caught up on my blogging. Yay!  Emily Jo  Psalm 91:6,7 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.  A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

In This Is Love

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, an was made in the likeness of men:  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.  Philippians 2:5-8 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.  Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.  Isaiah 53:3-5 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live throu

Tunari or Bust!

Image
                                    I have always wanted to hike to the top of this mountain.                                           The twin peaks on the right are called Mount Tunari.    Mount Tunari is 16,480 feet high. This mountain isn't even on the list of the top twenty tallest mountains of Bolivia! On Wednesday morning we loaded up our wonderful, almost 4X4 truffi (ha, ha), with 12 people, a sack lunch, and a guitar. We went up the same road that you see in  A Drive Through the Andes , but this time we turned off and took a very treacherous and difficult road. The Car The Road                                                             The Group (L-R: Jimmy, Michelle, Clara, Gina, Joe, Myles, Clancy, Emily, Ruth, Danyelle, Isabelle. Daddy took the picture)                                      We had to stop here or we might have gone off the edge. After parking, we started walking up the road. Thankfully, we were very close to th
