Never get between a man and his swan.














Early morning service in Cali. Our presentation was "Buenos dias. Tengo un tratado para usted. [read title of tract]. Si lo dejo que lo lea." (direct translation: Good morning. I have a tract for you [read title of tract]. If I give it to you, read it.[its sounds softer in spanish than in english])











Dad preparing his talk for Saturday.

This is the family we are living with in Palmira: Jesus, Kelly, and Laura. They are all three regular pioneering and have 38 studies between the three of them. They go out in service almost every day. Territory in the morning, and studies in the afternoon. This morning, we all slept in because the territory was in the mountains, where it is not as safe for the gringas (white girls)to go.

This is the "pueblo" we are living in. Man, we are roughing it in this country, there are only three hammocks on the 2nd floor porch.

After the meeting Tuesday, empandas, papas rellenos, and refajo (=beer + soda, in this case Sprite)..mmmm!

We went to the meeting Tuesday night in Cali. There are muchos jovenes (young people) in this congregation. Jessica made her first comment in Spanish. It was very complex: "Respetar las decisiones y deseos del paciente."

First Day in Cali

After sleeping in the airport and last minute Spanish cramming, we've arrived safely in Cali. We'll post more about where we are staying and the family later, when we've actually had a real night's sleep. Chau!

Also, in case you were wondering..you can take mouthwash into Colombia...but you can't take it out!
