Prayers for Bolivia

One of the aspects of having foreign exchange students is that once their gone, you still carry them in your heart. And those little blurbs in the newspaper world news section are no longer insignificant.

Our Bolivian daughter, Carla, lives in the capital, La Paz, where there have been riots and protests, deaths and the resignation of the president. The indigenous people and others have argued again the government proposal to send gas through Chile to the US (as one market). Many Bolivians have a long-standing grudge (understatement) against Chile for taking away their coastline in a war fought over 100 years ago.

We pray for peace for Bolivia--that the new president will have a cool head and that he can address the needs of all the people. We pray for safety and stabilization of the economy.

And we pray for our daughter Carla and her family there in La Paz.

Till next time,

Suzi
