So last week while Justin was in Pioneer School our Circuit Overseer pulled him aside and asked if we would like to serve were the need was really great. He said he had prayed about it and thought we would be the best choice. That made me feel awesome. So Justin called me and immediately I said sure. So we met with the C.O and talked about what would be needed there and how we can help. We decided to go and visit it this weekend. The city is Entre Rios, Bolivia. You get there by bus(4 hours) or taxi(3 hours). Even though it looks super close on the map the road is the bumpiest, curviest road ever. Think of the most curviest road in the world and this is definitely worse. But the closer you get to Entre Rios the more beautiful it is. It is surprisingly greener and super tiny. It is a bit of a culture shock how little it is. So yesterday we started looking for places to rent. We walked up and down the streets asking people about places to rent. We found one and called the number posted on the door. She said she would visit us at 2pm. Well that ended up being 3:15pm. When we went inside it was super dirty and nasty. They were asking a really high price for it as well. But since it was the only place there we said we would try to live there. But we were still a little uncomfortable with it. So after much prayer we went to the meeting. It was held in the back of some house under a tin roof. We had about 12 chairs and all were full. We sang songs with a boombox accompanying us. The meeting went really well. There was one elder and one ministerial servant. After the meeting we met the new ones and the ones studying. While talking to one family, they said they had a place to rent. We got really excited. They said we could come that night to see it. So we went with them. Turned out that it was the house behind the other house we were thinking of getting. It is really big, for what we are use too. It was not the cleanest and some one was living in it. But they said they are moving out in a week so we can have it. He is going to repaint everything and clean it really good. I know the pics look scary, but it is not that bad. We can even get internet in the house and the study knows someone who can help us move all of our furniture. It was an answer to our prayers. After that we returned to our "hotel", it was really a hostel. The whole night we were sweating and listening to everything going on outside. It was a real experience. But we survived our first night and are ready for many more.
