Adventures in Bogota

Hey Friends and Family ( oops, I meant to say)
HOLA AMIGOS,

In case you were wondering, Team Bogota arrived safe and sound in Colombia. We are thrilled to be here and begin our work. Unfortunately, our internet connection has been non existent until this evening. Here's a brief update of our work so far:

1.Long 12 hours of travel down to South America. But because we were so diligent in leaving early, we still arrived by 3 in the afternoon on Thursday. We found some unusual traffic on local roads.

Team Time at Monserrate... 9,500 feet above sea level

2. We have delivered more than 650 pounds of books and goods to the Afanadors and El Camino Academy. In addition to that, we have consumed 650 pounds of the worlds best Carne Asada! Bogota will grow us in many ways...

3.All of our team members are doing well and enjoying the beautiful people, scenery, fellow team members, and ministry opportunities.

We have already taught English, presented the gospel, unpacked books for the El Camino Library, and loved on the people and children that God has been sending our way. In addition to going to two schools, we headed into a very rough neighborhood to bring the love of Jesus to the children in that community

Tomorrow we will reach out to the poor and needy in the "recylers" community. More time for ministry and more time getting to know or fellow team members while we travel!

Thank you for your support and for your prayer. We hope to write more in a couple of days. Dios te bendiga ... God bless!
For the Whole Team,

John

PS This was an 11 passenger van, right?
