Sunday!

Hi everyone! We are sorry we didn’t write anything yesterday. It was a very busy day and traffic in Bogotá was very heavy. We started with church. We rode a city bus there. It was very crowded and Nasko had to stand. Then an elderly lady offered her seat, but we said no. Then she brought Nasko over to sit on her lap. She was very nice. At church it was great to see old friends, although many of them were back in the States or Canada.  We shared communion with them.

Then we went on a long bus ride to downtown. Some went to the Gold Museum and others went shopping. We went up to Monserrate. It was a little cloudy but the view was still great. Then it was back down the mountain for supper. It was a good thing we had Maria with us. She was told that the last cable car down was at 6 PM. If we would had missed it we would have had to walk down the mountain. Whew!

When we went into the restaurant to eat a little old man followed us. He helped us get our tables together and then just sat nearby. The group decided to give him some of our food. Then the waitress came up to us and said that he told them he was with us and that we would buy him some food. We all got a chuckle out of it.

Then it was back to the hotel and preparations for today. Today we go to Prado and have a Bible story for the kids. We look forward to seeing lots of friends there.  We will also be making jewelry with the kids who received education scholarships through Project Hope.  The jewelry will be sold at home to help them pay for their education.
