Technical Difficulties

So, the power supply to our laptop went ka-poot. Unfortunately, we won´t receive a replacement part for probably at least another month or two, because it has to be shipped from the states. This means blog postings probably won´t be too frequent, and without photos. Also, our email server has been fire-walled at the university (where I am currently typing this), which means communication will be difficult. So if we´re not replying to your emails, you know why. Sometimes stuff like this happens here. What can you do?

Flooding

For those of you who aren't already aware, Bolivia is in the midst of its worst flooding in 25 years. Thus far, at least 20 people have died, more than 100,000 have been left homeless, over 100,000 head of cattle have died (with another 500,000 at risk), and hundreds of thousands of acres of crops have been destroyed. A short while ago, Aileen and I had the opportunity to drive north to Trinidad, one of the hardest hit areas, and bring some food and supplies to be delivered by the Wings of Peace ministry there. We took SEVERAL PHOTOS while we were there. Please keep Bolivia in your prayers!
