We made it into Columbia on Tuesday night, in one of the craziest little airports I've ever seen.. it was like I have seen in movies of airports back in the sixties where the people wait outside the gate to greet you. And boy was it good to see Suzan run up and get us when we crammed all of our luggage into a tiny little taxi!
The house where we are at in Bogota is really nice, its in a gated/gaurded community and just a few blocks from the bank, markets, and avocado stands (PRAISE GOD!). Judith and I were very impressed when we could buy a whole pineapple for only 30 US cents.
And when Mickey took us to the bank I found out i was also a Columbian millionare (as the exchange rate is 2,000 to 1)! So I guess we could buy a whole boatload of pineapples now. I have been so pumped ever since the plane started to land, as Judith and I were trying to make conversation with this lady sitting next to us with my priceless 50 cent thrift store English-Spanish dictionary.. flipping back and forth between words and waving around our hands alot. Now that I am in situations I can use these few vocabulary words and verbs that I've learned on Rosetta Stone for the past few months. So thats fun and making good use of all those little lessons I studied!
This weekend we are traveling 3 hours south to a city called Villavecenio to help with a crusade with a man named Charlie Elliot. You CBC people may have met his son, Charlie Jr. in Mexico working with Palabra de Vida (Bobby Crow's church). Charlie Sr. also worked at Palabra de Vida as well. We are expecting MUCHOS MILAGROS (many miracles) to come out this weekend as we are advertising all the sick to come to our tent crusades on Fri-Sun. I had an awesome dream last night about the crusade and some miracles happening as we pray for them and the people coming to Christ.. All I can explain right now is that I am SUPER excited inside and can't wait to come back to post all the happenings!!I am so happy to be here, and I am so glad I have a good three weeks to explore the place and what all God has planned out!
