Episode 3: The Zombie Apodcalypse


La Paz: Latin Link Retreat


Prayer walk with the team.

La Paz: Community Church & The Hunt Family


Up a big hill with Mark (you're always up a hill in La Paz).


Sam with Rebecca.

The ever-developing La Paz cable-car system never ceases to enthral us. This
new blue line takes you literally to the centre of town (think Buchanan Street
subway station, but for cable-cars).


Ben on the left, Meghan on the right, Sam too tired to pose.

The following images are taken from a walk up the Muela del Diablo, the
spectacular rock formation you can see on the right-hand side here.
Disclaimer no.1: this is not my photo.

Disclaimer no.2: we drove most of the way in a mighty Lada.





Sam's ubiquitous goldfish crackers. They taste even better
at altitude.

La Paz Community Church.

One of LPCC's attendees is our old friend Dave McColl, now working as
the Samaritan's Purse chief in Bolivia. Mark called this a Scottish sandwich,
so I suppose that makes him a lorne sausage.

The Hunts' dog, Chumita, more than made up for Napoleon's absence in Sam's eyes.
The Band

The poster.

All set!


Some footage from our sound-check:


And here's our playlist. All covers, of course! The U2 and Ben E. King numbers were 'mashed-up'. Craig sang lead on Change The World, These Days and I'm On My Way, which doubled both as our encore and as an excuse to change into a 1978 Scotland shirt.


There are plenty more photos and videos from the concert. Send us an email if you'd like to see more.

Prayer Points

  • Give thanks for a great time in La Paz, both at the Latin Link retreat and with friends old and new.
  • Give thanks for a terrific gig on Tuesday and the opportunity to bless the Novo rehabilitation programme in this way.
  • Pray for Sam at school; his behaviour has taken a bit of a nosedive recently.
  • Pray for Bolivia as the country goes to the polls for the presidential elections on the 20th.
  • Pray for Joe Stoneham, a new Latin Link worker who will be staying with us for a few days next week.
  • Pray for the first meeting of Craig's Langham escuelita, on the 23rd.
  • Pray for the launch of the church's new midweek meeting, next Thursday (17th).
  • Pray for our time with our house-guest this week, YoselĂ­n.
¡Que Dios les bendiga!

Craig, Amanda & Sam
