Tarija Going Away Party

It seems like just yesterday that we arrived to Tarija Bolivia unsure and excited about what lay ahead and now one year later we find ourselves in the same situation.  As was posted previously, we are moving to a remote area called Entre Rios, so our congregation here in Tarija who we've gotten really close to and created great memories with threw us a going away party last night.  It was a really stormy evening and most of the brothers and sisters don't have a vehicle but they came anyway.  It really warmed our hearts to see the love of the brothers and sisters here and it reminded us of how close we have become.  This time around instead of doing traditional Tarija dances like they did for our welcome party, the kids did a traditional dance from the area that we're moving to.  A lot of effort was put into last night from the dance to the food to the music and it showed.  It's bittersweet for us to be leaving but we'll never forget our first year in Bolivia that we've shared with our family in the congregation Sur.
