Definitely not Carolina

I just want to post some pictures for you to enjoy! A few quick thoughts beforehand though...

I was able to worship with the sister church in La Paz and needless to say it was amazing. The people here are so incredibly kind and want to do whatever they can do to help me. I don't think I've ever felt as much emotion as I have since I have started this trip. I have learned that emotion is a powerful tool and that harnessing it the right way makes all the difference in the world. My view about life has changed drastically already and I can't help but wonder what will change over the next year. To feel the love that exists here with people who want to love and live their lives for God is amazing. It has been the common denominator in my life - the one thing that hasn't changed from home. Everything else is different.

One other note to make... this place is rather dirty... I think it's because this city is eroding. If it rained here more often, I don't think that the city could if it wanted to.

Vamos... the pictures...
