While Bolivia was safe from the earthquake in Chile, we are unfortunately dealing with flooding. It has no effect whatsoever on myself or even the city where I live, but other areas, especially rural villages, get the brunt of it. I have written about flooding in Bolivia several times before.
The good news is that this year has been nothing like the past. I haven't heard of deaths and huge losses of livestock and crops like last year or the year before.
And the other goods news is that Bolivians have fabulous attitudes about everything! In Trinidad this weekend I saw a home that was flooded about a foot high. The family was out swimming in the water and having a great time.
Please keep places like Haiti, Chile, and even Bolivia in your thoughts and prayers. Sometimes life seems so unfair to certain communities or areas while others are so entirely blessed.
