How is the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian http://www.nmai.si.edu/ a part of our home assignment? The Bolivian Evangelical Lutheran Church is 98% Aymara. The Aymara are one of the many nations that make up the Plurinational State of Bolivia. We REALLY liked this museum and even got a chance to practice our Aymara! There was a roaming exhibit presented by a brother from a community close to Oruro which we by chance happened to see. He was very surprised to hear his language spoken and we were shocked to be able to use it. While in D.C., we spent time with my dear friend from college who lives and works in the area. Our visit with her reminded me of how hospitality is expressed in every culture and is an extension of God´s constant grace and love.
