A happy little blog post!

I know, it's high time that I blogged. 

So here is a barrage of photos from the past month with a running commentary! 

 The family has been busy planting roses, various flowers, and house plants these past few weeks. I'm not especially fascinated with that occupation, but I love the results of their labor! 
The kids put rocks around the base of the roses so that Cherry (our golden retriever), won't dig them up! 

We were able to host the students from the Bible school and various others for a fun evening of volleyball and music! volleyball+music=perfect evening! I didn't get any pictures of our volleyball teams ;-(, but I did get the some of the singing and playing (imagine that!)! 
 This picture cracks me up-Jaime really gets after it on his guitar! 
 The choir. 
 The band! 

While Daddy and Mama were on a anniversary vacation, we kids went over to the farm/Bible school campus and had choripanes (a Bolivian version of hotdog) at some friend's house. 
 It's a beautiful walk! 
 ~Ruth and I~
 Myles pulled the children there and back, he was such a gentleman! 
 I can get crazy but it's all normal for Paula!
 ~And one with our friend Valentina~
 We were one big happy family! 
 Looks yummy, huh! 
These students from the Bible school did a really fun skit for the children that came to the Hora Feliz that we are hosting at our house on Saturday. Most of the students are leaving tomorrow and we are going to miss them! 
The children loved it! 

Ok, there you have it, a happy little blog post from Camiri! 

Love to you all, 

Emily Jo 

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God: 
Which made heaven, and earth, the sea and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
Which executed judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. Psalm 146:5-7a

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
