VIEW FROM THE CRIB

Hello everyone. My name is Cecilia Joy Canny and I’m the newest missionary with Evangelical Church Missions. I have heard that many of you prayed for me before I was born and are always praying for me and my family. Thank you so much for all of your support. I really like knowing that I have a ministry family here in Bolivia and all over the world. I am writing to let you know that I am taking over this blog. My dad has been doing a good job writing on Canny Chronicles, but I figured you were probably getting a little bored with him. I might still let him write once in awhile, but I am experiencing so many new things in Bolivia and I can’t wait to share them!  Today, I just wanted to introduce myself and share a few facts about me.

Age – 6 months

Hometown – Santa Cruz, Bolivia, South America

Favorite Food – pureed sweet potatoes

Hobbies – napping, bouncing in my jumper, reading books with mom, listening to music (especially when my dad plays guitar), talking on Skype with my grandparents and aunts, visiting the kids at the New Hope Tutoring Center where my parents work, and traveling

I can’t wait to get to know more of you and start sharing about our days in Bolivia.

Roadblocks (physical & spiritual)

 Have you ever felt like Satan was trying to get in the way of something great happening in your life? Perhaps a job opportunity doesn’t work out or a deal on a house falls through. Maybe you’ve continually given into the same temptation and wonder when God will just “free you from it”. It is in these times when Satan can try to manipulate our thoughts to doubt our own strength and even worse to doubt God’s power in our lives. I was recently reminded of just how important it is to take control of our minds in difficult situations.             Each year the Santa Cruz Christian Learning Center (SCCLC) has a 3 day long Junior High Camp and week long High School Camp. Molly and I both counseled at Junior High Camp. It was an incredibly fun couple of days. The mosquitoes were out in full force. The showers were ice cold. The bed was rock hard with a paper thin mattress.  And I had forgotten about “camp cologne”. You know that interesting mix of sunscreen, bug spray, and Axe deodorant? But

A third culture...

The 2011-2012 school year has kicked off at the Santa Cruz Christian Learning Center (SCCLC). This school truly is a culture all it’s own. It is an educational institution for missionary kids from many different countries, Bolivians, and other students who desire a private education based off of an American curriculum and schedule. Some of you may know that Molly has her degree in Elementary Education and from 2007-2009 she served as the 4 th grade teacher at SCCLC. When we returned to Santa Cruz this past April we were feeling God directing us toward more ministry with our Spanish speaking churches and Molly knew that she wouldn’t be teaching full time. However, the key word in a missionary’s vocabulary is “flexibility”. As the school year was nearing the start, SCCLC still needed to fill many teaching positions. One of those positions was in the 4 th grade. A teacher was lined up, but she was still in the States raising her support. Molly saw a need and decided to help out. For

ON THE "FLIP" SIDE

This week I learned more about tortoises than I had anticipated. For instance, the plural of tortoise really is tortoises and not torti like I originally thought. There are some different answers floating around the web as to what the proper name is for a group of tortoises. A group of turtles is called a "bale" and some say this goes for tortoises as well. Other answers were a "herd" or "fleet". My personal favorite was, "a creep" or tortoises, named such for their slow movement. Listed below are some other interesting facts about these reptiles.  The key differences between Tortoises and Turtles Yellow Spotted South American Tortoise You may be wondering, "Why the sudden fascination with tortoises?", and I will tell you. This past week, Molly and I took a few days away from the city for our one year anniversary. It was a good time to get away and reflect on all of God's blessings over the past year. The place we stayed at ha
