The adventure begins

So here we go, the beginning of our big adventure...

We arrived in Cochabamba last night after a gruelling 30 hour journey which included 4 flights, 5 airports, 1 lost passport, countless questionable plane meals and possibly best of all 1 team of Braziallian international footballers. 

The group is getting on brilliantly and we are settling into out beautiful apartment. The 12 of us are living together in the North West of the city, from which the views are spectacular. The city is surrounded with lush green mountains, and I can see Cochabamba's rival to the Rio's Jesus statue from where I am sat now. 

Today is a day to chill and to aclimatize to the altitude and jet lag. Our body clocks are all over place; with half of us waking up at a crazy hour this morning and some still sleeping now. We are still not too sure of what the set up will be in terms of our projects, but training over the next few days should clear that up in no time. 

We are so excited about the next few days of exploring the city and learning more about this beautiful country. 

Here are a few snaps from our journey.

Prayer Request: A couple of the team have been struck with altitude sickness, please pray that they will recover quickly. We will also be starting Spanish lessons on Monday, we ask that God will help us to learn quickly and develop the skills to communicate with the people on our projects.
