We started out this morning by meeting with Jon to go over some things about the trip. After making copies of our passports and trading in our dollars for pesos we headed into Bogota for a day in the city.
Here are some things we learned about Colombia:
Chia is 8500 feet above see level
It is a great offense to spit in front of someone
Throw your TP in the trash or you may have to look for a plunger
If you are fair skined you can get a sun burn in about 30 min or less
Bogota has a population of about 5 million
Notice the clouds touching the mountains
The team (and some pigeons that decided to join us)
Wall to wall of one of many tiny shops here.
The Colombian "White House" I am almost as tall as the two guards
Dave and Daniela Alonso
She sprained her ankle so she got lots of piggy back rides.
We looked at Galations 2 this morning to remind us that our focus should be on the gospel. Please pray with us for God's work during these 12 days. Our purpose is to see teens get saved and help jump start a youth ministry at the Church here. We start the camp on Tuesday!
