Peace on Earth

Yesterday was not only the second week of advent (peace) but also the Bolivian presidential election. It's funny that the law during an election enforces no cars out and no public gatherings on the day of the vote, which meant we had to stay home, which meant we had a quiet peaceful day. The street which is normally screaming with noise all day and night was silent. No traffic, no car alarms, no people yelling that they had fruit or newspapers, just silence. It was a perfect day to experience peace. The election went off without any caos and the day after, life carries on without disruption. That you Lord!! We strung popcorn for our little tree and the kids have enjoyed decorating the apartment for Christmas. Thank you for all of you who were praying during this important time here in Bolivia.
