Colombia Day 3

Good evening everyone

Today was day three of orientation and things certainly didn't slow down. Especially since Jackie went to see a cardiologist today to get some tests done so they can keep up with her health and make sure everything is okay. No worries at this point, it is just precautionary.

After she got back from the doctor we ended up going to check out some possible places to live. We found one apartment that we liked a lot and the two other places we looked weren't bad, but we are not sure if we would want to live there. Anyway, we are probably going to look at more places tomorrow and see if we can move sometime this weekend or next week. Please pray for a place though since it would be a lot easier for us if we were in our own place once school starts.

Tomorrow we have more meetings and more work time at the school so hopefully we can take advantage of that.

I also found out I am probably going to be discipling the 9th grade boys this year which I am really looking forward too.

Hope everyone is doing well and we'll update you again tomorrow. Thank you for your prayer and support! God is doing some great things here in Colombia and we pray he uses us to continue in that work.

Our big adventure for today was the public bus transportation. It is a pretty crazy system and something that you would have to experience. Let's just say you feel like you are receiving a full body massage from everyone in the bus if you are standing (which we were!). People just move to the back of the bus and you ring a bell when you want the bus to stop and they usually stop somewhere within a block of where you wanted to get off. Then they just pick up whoever wants to get on from the street and you can only take specific buses that will go where you need to go. It was certainly an experience and one we will get more used to the longer we are here.
