A Trip To The Campo

On August 20th a group of about 35 people traveled 3 hours outside of Cochabamba to a small Quechua village for a 1 day mission trip.  The project included a small dental clinic, sharing of the gospel though making salvation bracelets, a time of sharing the Word and playing soccer with the kids. 

This woman lives in the village and is 100 years old.

This pit was used for cooking.  

They would put the food into pots with some of the hot rocks from the fire pit.

The pots then went back into the fire pit.

They covered the pit completely and an hour later we had lunch...

A few of us hiked to the top of a nearby mountain to check out an altar.  This is where they would offer sacrifices to  Pachamama, or Mother Earth the fertility god who presides over planting and harvesting.
