This is mom. Just wanted to share some things we learned about Bolivia while skyping:
- The sweetest thing ever is that the Bolivians pray for the elders and their families! Even when they are working with investigators and they ask them to pray, they will say "thank you for sending these elders and please bless their families!"
- We sent a small package to Elder Rivera, his companion. He had never heard of Skittles or Starburst.
- There are no street addresses or street names in Sipe Sipe (for the most part)
- Milk comes in pouches, not jugs or cartons
- There is a mashed potato dish with black potatoes literally mashed with feet
- Second hand American items are BIG, he knows a young boy who got a cheerleading jacket that had a girl's name embroidered on it, but he loves it!
- American movies and music are pirated and very cheap
- There is an open sewer system, and many houses have outhouses, no bathrooms
