Yes! I would still read that story. totally. except maybe if there is an abridged version, like without the stats...

I don't think they are, just recently there was a spat with the American ambassador. I don't know the specifics...
my aunt and uncle and their youngest daughter are there, I think in the jungles? with the Ese Ejja people. the mission got a lot smaller in the past few years but I think they're still in the field, not back in the city of Cochabamba.
