We are now Team COLOMBIA!!!

Well... not really... but we are in fact going to Bogota, Colombia for a short stay. Upon arriving at the airport and talking to the Ticket People, we learned that the flight we were hoping to catch in New York tomorrow morning was completely full and there was no way we could get to Quito via New York as that is the only flight that flies to Quito and it only goes once a day.... so we are flying tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m. from Toronto to Colombia.. which is slightly exciting but we CANT wait to get out of Toronto!! Air Canada has been absolutely a God send and have us in a really nice hotel with a pool and everything and all of our meals paid for, so we are looking forward to a nice meal soon and some time in the hottub. Keep praying for us please!! We need and thank you for all your prayers! Hopefully next time we update this we will actually be out of Canada!!

Thanks for keeping us up to date so well. Those of us following you certainly appreciate it. Sounds like just getting to Ecuador is turning out to be quite the adventure already. It’s good that Air Canada is taking such good care of you – (I think they are probably aware that they would have 5 sets of very irate parents if they didn’t). We look forward to hearing more from you. You are all very much in our thoughts and prayers.

wow...the hard part is probably the hot-tub. I do hope everything is working out. (Now do you get Colombian stamps?) God be with you guys. He knows you can withstand anything thrown at you.

You are in our prayers.

Hey guys!

Looking forward to hearing about your involvement while you're there. If internet use is not possible, we're excited to get it all in one shot upon your return.
Here's a verse for you:
Ps. 37:6 - "He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun."
May you carry His light with you throughout Ecuador! - Jeremy

Well, it sounds like you guys have had quite the adventure so far. God's blessings as you venture to Columbia and hopefully to Ecuador soon after that.

Hey you guys!! Are you finally in Ecuador now?! Hard to believe it's been close to a week since you left dearly beloved CLBI!!

May God bless you and your ministry, and keep you safe :)
