Chad: Sorry everyone that it has been so long since we have blogged. By now we probably have no one left that even checks it. Last weekend we went to a youth retreat with our church youth (Bolivians). It was really interesting. They really get into the worship. After the service we were talking with a newly-wed couple. Around us it was mass pandamonium. Typical of retreats or other camp experiences they were running around throwing everyone into a pool and getting each other wet. They never do stuff like that to us because we are the "misionarios." As we were talking with the couple a friend of theirs charged up from behind them (across from us) and dumped cold soup on them. We got smooshed banana pieces, white chunky water, peels, and other bits of assorted food dumped on us (inadvertently). It was quite an interesting experience. I've never had old soup dumped on me. If there is anyone still out there thanks for reading my story.

I found your story quite interesting (and not just because we're family). Hope you wrung your clothes out and saved the soup! Sounds just like the pool party in that Peter Sellers movie.
I'm not so much looking forward to soup with smooshed bananas in it.
We love reading your stories, keep them coming :)

i didn't read it. i just caught the last line and decided to tell you that i went to your page to specifically not read it and go to the next blog.
Were there chicken feet in the soup, because that could change everything.
Love you guys!
