It is my final day here in Colombia. We have spent the last couple of days traveling through beautiful mountains and valleys. They were full of farmers lowing with oxen. It was a very incredible sight.
We arrived in Tunja and went to a church to eat. It was wonderful and they were very welcoming. They sang a bunch of songs with us. The youth leader had worked at a camp in the US so most of the songs were from the camp. It was neat because we knew them and they would sing both the spanish and english versions.
We made our way to Villa de Leyvia. There we walked around downtown and I was able to get a bunch of gifts and souveniers for people. Then we stayed at a beautiful resort. We each had our own rooms and mine just happened to have five beds. We took a hot tub. It was wonderful to hear the frogs and the crickets after so many nights at the convent.
Tomorrow we wake up very early in order to get on the plane. Then we fly to Atlanta, then Chicago, then Green Bay. We will drive up to Marquette tomorrow night and I should be back by hopefully one or two in the morning. It will be a long day but I am excitedto sleep in my own bed.
I miss you all and look forward to see some of you and get to talk to the rest of you on the phone. I love you all!
