We are home now. We had a relatively uneventful day traveling. The only semi-exciting thing was Jessica getting called to the front of the plane line, as the police had confiscated her bag because it was heavy. We had all our books in there (Bibles, Bible Teach books, books for the meeting, Jessica's textbooks for her online classes). Apparently the bag got flagged because it was so heavy. The police officer looked through literally every single book to make sure there wasn't anything illegal hidden in them.
Everything feels the same as when we left, except for the weather, which is uncomfortably humid. Once we start hearing all the things we've missed and starting missing all our new friends in Colombia, it will probably feel more like we were gone for five months.

Bittersweet Moments..
So today is our last day. We have to wake up bright and early at 5 am tomorrow to get to the airport by 7. These last fews days have gone by very quickly. We are happy to be coming home, but also sad to leave this experience and all the friends we've made.
The Ortegas threw us a surprise going away party yesterday. We had absolutely no idea they were planning it. Felipe and Gladys even came for a little while.
As you can see from this picture, we were attacked with confetti.
Saturday was our last meeting. This is part of the congregation:
Almost our last day in service:
This is Angela, who I was studying with for the months of May and June. I passed her over to Kelly last Thursday. She's a good student-likes to learn and best of all, was super patient when I didnt know how to say something in Spanish.
Sorry we didn't write more for this last post, but we have to finish packing and just got home from our paseo to the river.
