Colombia Today

Hey Everyone

We are leaving for Colombia today and we should be in by 9pm tonight after a couple of flights and a lay-over in Texas. We are excited, but also nervous, since we will be living with a family for a few weeks before we move into an apartment. The daughters speak English, but the parents speak very little, so hopefully our Spanish (especially mine) will improve and I will be a fast learner.

Some prayer requests we have are:

1. Continued prayer and financial support - since we are about 60% funded.
2. A smooth transition over the next couple of weeks - moving, getting settled, teacher orientation and getting ready for classes to start
3. Safety during our travel to Bogota and within Bogota as we get used to living in a new city
4. Home sickness - it hasn't hit us yet but it probably will

Thank you again and I hope the next time I write there will be a lot more to tell you about in Colombia...maybe some pictures as well!
