Bolivia
Last updated March 8, 2021
Update:
We welcomed new missioner, Nora McMahon to join Anna in Bolivia earlier this February. Both are adhering to the Bolivian COVID-19 Restrictions in practice.
Neither are able to fully practice their ministries, but are making the most of this time with further language studies. Nora is refreshing her Spanish, while Anna is continuing education with a local language school.
As I sit and do nothing on my bed in our apartment in the center of Cochabamba, I listen to the silence… the silence that is usually filled with the sound of cars driving down the busy streets, the chatter of people, and loud music…Anna Metzger, FMS missioner serving in Bolivia
