The climate in Santa Cruz in generally hotter and more humid, which is not my favorite. But then, how often do we get the chance to mix Christmas and fruit smoothies with umbrellas, while in Montana?
On the other hand, it does seem strange to see Nativity Scenes with palm trees and very hot sun. And Duane also informed me that apparently I wasn't very respectful of this display, but come on... Can you look closely at these larger than life heads and not laugh... And that's before you even notice the animals!
Another cool experience recently was having the opportunity to meet with a representative from Germany who was in Bolivia investigating opportunities for professionals to volunteer and share their expertise. So in the picture below you see a Bolivian, an Oregonian, and a German all communicating in Spanish to work together for the development of Bolivia, and to advance the Kingdom of God here on earth. Pretty cool!
That nativity scene is hilarious!
