The amazing house we lived in for the month, with Tunari, the biggest peak in the area in the background.
On our first day we were asked to be in the local villages parade. We all chose scrubs from the hospitals collection and immediately took to our pretend rolls as “Doctoras” and “Nurses.”

The Christo statue in Cochabamba watches over the entire valley from the top of a hill. He’s the tallest Jesus statue in the world, coming in a few centimeters taller than the world famous Jesus statue in Rio de Janero.
Dancing and worship time at the Christo statue.

Walking up to Anacoraire, our local Quechua village.
Painting the ceiling of our first classroom at the Anacoraire School.
Walking up to the school to paint with some of the local children. They loved the come with us and would always write us notes telling us how thankful they were that we were painting their school.
These kids were so much fun, I took picture after picture after picture.
I never learned his name, but this little boy was absolutely adorable.
These kids usually stole me away from my painting duties to take pictures with them, but I definitely didn’t mind!
