VIVA LA COCHABAMBA! er...

Ok, so maybe that doesn't make perfect sense, but the point is this: I'm going to Bolivia in June! Not sure where exactly, not sure what I'll do... not 100% on why either, but I guess the Lord provides the adventure I crave. Interesting, that. I had been thinking lately that my chronic wanderlust, my intrinsic interest in the world ... was a hindrance. Perhaps that is incorrect. In this case, being able to cheerfully embrace (not abdication nor resignation) the totally unknown for a cause greater than myself is requisitely enabling. In other news, I was gonna ride my bike to church tomorrow, but it's gonna rain/snow... which is the worst combo ever. It's like snow, but not fluffy and fun, and like rain, but colder. and more homicidal. dang sleet...

Bolivia!?!?

So... I'm waiting to hear back- in the next 48 hrs or so- from the Maryknoll Bolivia Immersion Program (MBIP) on whether I have been accepted to their program. If so- and I see no reason for otherwise- then I'll be goin to Cochabamba, Bolivia on June 15. While I'm not positive exactly whta I'll be up to, I hope to be involved in some sort of program with some of the street kids/ orphanages. I'm good with kids, plus I'm good at soccer. And I actually hope to start up a few futbol programs... and though I'm a gringo, I'm sure they've never seen a gringo play futbol like I me. haha well, here's to getting in...
