Much of my information came from a tour of the ruins at Tiawanaku, just about a two-hour drive outside of La Paz. Be sure and visit if you are in Bolivia. It is worth it. But have an interpreter with you, the guides, obviously, speak Spanish.

Audio of “#1 Introduction”

I visited a young Methodist couple in their home in Caypayque, high in the Andes. There were no windows to hold in the warmth. (Glass windows were too expensive.) A fire and lots of soot.

This was the only food and water I saw. Some potatoes and greens.

This was their CLEAR water bottle with muddy drinking water.

Another home we visited in Caypayque. Notice the ‘walls’ don’t even stop the wind. And notice the US folks wearing heavy jackets.

The Sources for this episode is pretty simple:

Accumulated conversations with Bolivian Methodists for 32 years.

I attended the Centennial Celebration of 2006,

My primary source for this podcast was, once again, pastor Gustavo Loza. I used information from conversations with him, and from his paper: “The Mission of the Methodist Church is a part of the history in Bolivia: The education with the indigenous – Weaving the big multicolour Aguayo from the Aymara People”

.
