This is Jorge…
I know I write this every time, but again…thank you so much for praying and for all your e-mails and notes. It’s been really encouraging. Each day at the hospital I pass it on to Jorge’s family that you’re praying, and I know it’s been a help to them. And to those of you who have expressed an interest in helping Jorge’s family with their medical expenses, thank you so much for that as well. I know that’ll be a huge blessing for them.
Jorge is slowly doing better. He’s still uncounsious, but I got a call yesterday afternoon from his aunt, that he’d openned his eyes for a moment, for the first time since the accident. So that was pretty exciting. When I went over to the hospital last night, for the first time his sister, Noelia, and her mom weren’t there. They’d left to go get something to eat. I figured that was a good sign. =) They haven’t left his side since the accident last week. Jorge only has one sister, but he’s got a truckload of relatives…so there’re are always cousins and aunts and nephews and whatnot sitting in the waiting room. They’ve kind of taken over. =)
Anyhow, here’s the video. Thanks again for your prayers and support. It’s encouraging to know that people at home care about this guy….that we’re family even though we may not have met.
Thanks for that…
(This is all of us at lunch that same day. The first guy with the long hair is Tonchy, Noelia’s husband. Noelia is sitting beside him. Then farther down the table is Maribel, another of our volunteers. Jorge is next in the yellow t-shirt, sitting beside his wife, Viviana.)
Hey Ken! Wow, you guys have all been going through a lot. Sounds like Jorge is in good hands though, and I will pray for his recovery.
Wayne said you had a blog, and I haven’t got around to having a look till now. Very cool. The sights and sounds (and smells) of Bolivia come flooding back. Wayne’s going again in April, did he tell you?
Anyway, enjoyed having a view into your life there. Adiós and stay warm (I have to say that it’s -34 today, but it’s a dry cold.)

Hey funny…it was +34 here today. =) Thanks for praying Deanna. Where’s Wayne going to be?
They haven’t nailed down the details yet, I guess. But I hope they get to go to the mission and meet the kids that were sponsered by people in the local church. I think that would be really cool. I think that was in Cochabamba, they were also in Yicuiba, adn Tarija. But it’s all up to the powers that be. (the old blog is http://step2bolivia.blogspot.com/ we are starting the new one tonight so stay posted, haha punny)
I keep telling Wayne we should just jump in our RV, (Harvey) and drive down there for summer holidays. What could go wrong??? haha
I worked on a Child Evangelism Camp when I was in Bolivia in ‘86. Any idea if it’s still there? It was south of Santa Cruz. Who knows where, but it was really beautiful.
I have learned a lot from your site. Thanks!!
very good!
