What is it like in Colombia?

Well, we have been awakened by the sounds of squeaky brakes, honking car, people talking, dogs barking, hammering and various others sounds that make their vibrating up to the second floor where our room is. There was a familiar sound the first night we were here, that of a trash truck running its route at 1 am! I woke up briefly wondering did my son take out our trash can out (of course this is our routine in the small town of Sunset where we currently live). Well, soon I doze back off to sleep with the realization this is not Sunset.

It did not take long for our day to become busy rather quickly. We found that Bro Ayas computer needed some upgrades so we could complete some minor task. We had Bro Aya review the website where we will need to make some correction. We spend some moments researching the newspaper (El Tiempo) to get a feel what the half page gospel tract may cost. We still need to go in person but atleast we are a bit prepared. Bro. Aya had a couple of commitment to disciple some folks. Sister Aya had an appointment to take Paula for some medical exams. Well, Bro Aya decided to drop her off on our way to the second discipleship appointment, where we went with them. Well, it took over half an hour of driving around the same block to find the exam location, funny thing was that the first place Bro. Aya tried to confirm if this was the location and was told no, was the place after all. So, round and round we had gone. Jokingly I asked Bro. Aya if this driving around helps to become familiar with the roads pot holes ;)

Yes, driving can be a bit interesting here in Bogota. You must have split second decision making as a taxi squeezed infront of you on the left a motorcycle to right, not to mention all the pedestrians that must get to the other side and those pot holes again.

The homes are small as well as their gas economy cars, but it is amazing how much you can squeeze in them and have room to breathe. Really, I am enjoying myself quite well. I enjoy their small bag full of hot bread delivered in the mornings all for 20 cents. As wonderful the aroma of bread is to me, so is the sweet and teachable spirit of the brethren. We were so blessed to have been in their Wednesday prayer meeting. Right now much of the time is taken up with doing biblical studies with the new Christian. It is in question and answer form and they studied the area of fornication (Pastor Turner - It just as rough for the Pastor here as the questions begin coming up). I was amazed that the young people took part in the questions too.

Well, I will wrap up this update for now as much more to do this day. Lord, willing start the process of getting the Gospel tract in the paper.

God bless you all and thank you for your prayers.
