Yes, it has been a couple weeks since the last
post. The delay has been for good
reason, we hosted our first visitor from the States… Marlayna’s mom! She was here for a
little over a week and spent some quality time with her grand- daughter!
During the month of October, the Colombian government made a
law that required schools to take a one week recess. Though the students have the week off, the
teachers have professional development days the front half of the week. While Marlayna’s mom was in town, she was
able to get a good taste of life here in Bogota and some of the routines we are
in: going to church, grocery shopping at local vender, taking public transportation
to school, and house hold routines. It was wonderful to have an extra set of
hands to play with our daughter. During
the back half of the week, we were able to take an overnight trip just out of
the city to a small town with cobble stone streets, artisans selling their
product, and local activities and foods to try. It was a wonderful week
together and at the end of the time it was hard to say good-bye. Wonderful
memories.
