Our person of peace, Justiana, has been amazing! She has opened up her home for our meetings every day, and provides us food and drinks without us ever asking. We can tell that they are very poor... But they give us the best of what they have.
What happened today touched me the most. Justiana has several children who have been very kind to us. Her youngest son, Emmanuel, is 11. This afternoon our translator came over to us and told us that Emmanuel told him that he has been praying every day that when we leave, we will give him the soccer ball we brought with us. I had to fight back tears as I watched this shy little boy smile as if he was the luckiest person in Bolivia when he got his ball. I'll never forget it!
