South America

Family BorderHi, we are the Lizarazus.  We live in Bolivia, South America.  Emily first came to Bolivia in 1996.  Since ‘96 we’ve been in Bolivia, minus some time we had to stay in the states for paper work and medical treatments.  We work at a Christian Camp about 40 miles from the city of Cochabamba.  It takes us about 2 ½ hours to drive the 40 miles due to the mountain roads.   Enjoy the pictures!

First is our family – Our pride and joy!

Benjamin is 7, Lydia is 5, Ellie is 3 and Julia was 1 year old Feb 27th.

Our family took a few days off and we visited a place up in the mountains called Toro Toro.  There they have caves and dinosaur footprints.  Julia could sit just perfectly in the “Stegosaurus prints” on the mountain.  Eric was invited back by the national park service leaders to teach some out door skills (and creationism) to the teen guides.  He will consider taking some youth counselors with him when the University is on break this “summer.” (December-February)   The road is a bit exciting so he may double the trip as an adventure trip as well. 

 In conclusion:  2007 was a good year ministry-wise.  A scary year politically and  a great year with the family.  Thanks for praying for us.  Please keep us in your prayers.  We do miss hearing from you all.

The LORD is good, all the time!

Eric, Emily and the kids.
