Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone! We appreciate all your prayers.

Today we all put on our Sunday best to go to the church. The church was very theatric, and had a group of teenagers (jovenes) putting on skits, to represent Easter. Praise God that the pastor who spoke was originally from Houston, Texas and was able to translate everything into English, for us ringos. Later we found out that that was the first time English had ever been spoken or translated in that church. God sure does spoil us!

 

This video is from the church we visited.

After church, we went into the main city and split up into groups. Each group had 5 places in the city, which we had to take pictures with, and then get back to the hotel by 4:30. My group was fortunate enough to pick up a local, who helped us cheat the game a little. He brought us to every place, and he argued with the store owners so we could get the price we could. Kevin stuck through it, with us girls, as we stopped at all the shops to get new Colombian trinkets. Our new Colombian friend, Delimiro Martinez, was the highlight of my day. He was so kind, and shared all his stories of his traveling. The city was so beautiful. It was nothing even close to anything in Michigan.

We thank God today for giving us the luxury of English in the Colombian church today, and such beautiful weather. We also thank God for the fellowship happening in the group. Again, we appreciate all your prayers, and we will keep you updated on more adventures throughout the week!
