Feliz dia de Canada!  I know I haven’t been around here much lately, but that’ll eventually change once I’m back on Bolivian soil I’m sure.  But thanks to all you faithful ones who still come and check each day to see if I’ve written anything interesting or worthwhile.  =)  I appreciate it. 

I celebrated Canada Day with my sisters, brother-in-law and my nephew and niece.  We walked over to the park to watch the fireworks.  Other than the part where we had to try and navigate walking back in the dark with two little ones in tow, with thousands of other people…it was a lot of fun. 

A couple of pictures…

Getting tatooed…

What it means to be a Switzer!

So that was Canada Day!  It was a good time.  But Canada Day usually is.  I was sadly asked by one of my American friends today what Canada Day was.  Uh…it’s kind of like July 4th…except better.  =)

Before I go, could I ask you to pray for the guys back in Santa Cruz?  I spoke with Isabel yesterday, and some of them are definitely have a rough go of it.  There are different things happening, but I can safely say that a couple of the guys are making some bad decisions that may mean they’ll be finished at the home when I get back in August.  I hope that doesn’t happen, but that seems to be the direction they’re moving in.  So please pray for wisdom, conviction and a sense of God’s presence and direction in their lives. 

Thanks everyone!  I’m coming up on my last month here in Canada.  That’s crazy!  But if you’d still like to grab that coffee or lunch, just let me know!  It’d be great to hang out!
