Our second day in La Paz consisted mostly of two meetings.
1) We were able to track down the one and only Church of Christ in the city of almost two million people the day before. We worshiped with them Sunday morning and were blessed by their welcomeness. After service, we sat down with Rufino and Luis, two leaders of the La Paz congregation, and chatted about the history of the church in La Paz.
2) We met with the Director of SIM missions, Greg Hurst, in La Paz who is currently living in the southern zone. The previous day we met with a ministry located in the poorest urban community, of the poorest country in South Amercia, El Alto. El Zono Sur, the southern zone where Greg works, is the wealthiest community in La Paz. Reid is the hairy faced guy on the left.
Randy, a Youth For Christ connenction we made in La Paz, was so helpful to connect us with the right people in to make our visit productive. Randy also provided accomodations for us while we were there. The time we spent in La Paz was incredibly formational, and will always be a contributor to how we strategize for the future wherever we end up.
