A Reflection on the Bolivia Mission

          Ben Gwaltney made one of the first foreign mission trips to Bolivia in 1988. He wrote at the time: La Paz is like no place I’ve ever been to or seen in my life.  Driving down from “Alto La Paz”, the high plateau where the airport and some fields are, the shacks cascade down the rim like water running into a bowl, collecting in the center in a tight, low mass of mud brick which is downtown La Paz.  I wish I could take pictures of every single thing I see, and somehow convey the sense of wonder that the small, wrinkled ladies with bowler hats and short, smiling, capped men give me.
