JourneyKidz was good too.  I was in the service, but there were several kids in there and they other team members had awesome game ideas and a great lesson time planned.  After church we had an Easter EGG-stravaganza that was pretty fun too.  We had inflatables!  We had a giant obstacle course, giant slide and the moon bounce.  The kids had a blast and it is so fun to see the smiles on their faces and them giggling and encouraging and loving their friends.  We can learn so much from children it we allow ourselves.  We also had, of course, eggs with candy. . .always a hit :-)

So, I am so excited for Journey because I think this was a great day in the life of Journey Church!  I know our pastor and his wife were pumped too, you could see it in their faces and it was SOOOO sweet.  I love when church members are pumped up about something.  I hope everyone else had a truly blessed Easter.  What a wonderful day to celebrate in our lives as Christ-followers!  Christ did the impossible, rose from the dead. . .just as he told us he would.  Jesus is trustworthy, he always does as he says and never lets us down.  I still am in awe he loved us so much he died for us so we could have a relationship with him.  God Bless!

Jean poses in front of the giant, inflatable slide sponsored by Allegro Ice Cream. The giant slide is located at the Gasiano Mall Atrium. However, it will be open to the public for only a few days.

The slide is HUGE. After seeing two utility men struggling and bouncing on top of the slide, I couldn't help but worry about the little kids who want to try this one.

First, we visited a kids' park in the middle of the city called Parque Laikacota. It gave a good 'theatre-in-the-round' view of the city, along with a neat snapshot of your average Bolivian family outing, complete with balloons, Barney the Dinosaur (who's almost as popular here as Professional Wrestling -- go figure), and a giant slide that I really really wanted to go on, but didn't out of fear that I'd crush a small child. I should point out that I feel unnaturally large even among Bolivian adults. The average height seems to be about 5' 6, give or take. I tried to buy shoes the other day, and the largest size in the first pair I asked about was 5 sizes smaller than what I needed. But I digress.

The second view point we hiked up to is called Mirador Killi Killi. It's quite a ways up the hillside, and offers a spectacular bird's eye view of the city and surrounding mountains. The picture below shows the downtown area of the city, with the suburb of El Alto (home to the airport and some of the poorest neighbourhoods in the city) just visible in the distance (by the towers on the ridge of hills on the right-hand side of the picture). El Alto is a place I hope to learn more about; until I do however, I won't write more about it -- I'd hate to write something misinformed.

This final picture was actually taken from our apartment.  It captures La Paz by night, and offers just a glimpse of Illimani, a breathtaking mountain in to the southeast of La Paz.  The mountain has a cool Mount Olympus vibe, as it is usually shrouded in cloud (the perfect getaway for the retiring deity).  When visible though, it is gorgeous and jarring, a flash of white snow looming above the brown and red hills surrounding La Paz.

That's it for now.  Tune in again next time, when I talk about our visit to the Valle de la Luna!
