We are officially ending our eleventh day back in Colombia. We’ve been staying in the guest house in Bogotá for the time being and have been staying busy in ministry and various errands to get ready for our departure to the coast.
Here are a few random observations/thoughts:
- I have not taken a single photo since we’ve gotten back to Colombia (that’s bad).
- I’ve preached twice and done a two-night conference on expository preaching.
- My Spanish is at about 90% of what it was a year ago, but it’s coming back (Holly’s is at about 95% I’d say).
- We had a great time in Tunal for the last two Sundays and the conference on preaching.
- Being sick from the altitude is not fun.
- Seeing the Bogota from the highest tower (Colsubsidio) today was very cool.
- If only 50% of our dreams for the ministry on the coast come true, we will be very excited.
- Alfredo and Juana are great friends, and we look forward to working with them.
- Thinking about arriving to Santa Marta to set up base camp sounds a lot like scaling Mt. Everest – exciting but a little stressful.
- When you can’t pronounce the words “se enamoran” (they fall in love) in a sermon that indicates you’re been speaking too much English in the last year.
- Prayer is key… thanks to all of you who read our letters and blogs and pray for us.
