Hey everyone! I wanted to let you all know that I am safely in Medellin, Colombia! We arrived in Bogota on Christmas Eve, where we stayed at the YWAM Bogota base until the 26th when we left for Medellin.
Here in Medellin this week we have been staying at a church retreat center, which is really nice. We learned really quickly here in Colombia that many people do not have hot water for showers and such, so we all have become accustomed to cold showers, which actually after a while feels kinda good when it is hot outside. The average temperatures here have been 50 degrees in the morning and night and 70 degrees during the day. I can now say that I have also learned how to hand wash my clothes and hang them over a balcony to dry. Who knew 2-in-1 Suave shampoo could make your clothes smell so good.
Our ministry this week has been to work with the kids (ages 2-10) and the youth (ages 13-18) by doing dramas, giving testimonies, and someone preaching. We leave the church retreat center on Friday and will then be working with the YWAM Medellin base for the next 12 days, and will be staying various places. We will start out staying in a college dorm, and then will move to the YWAM base, and possible some host homes.
I hope that you all are doing well. I will post again when I can get to an internet cafe. God Bless.

Hope this week has gone well for you and the team. What do you think of South America? It's a little different! But the people are wonderful. Never been to Columbia.
I am sure that not only are you making a difference, but the people and the country is also making a difference in you. Let us know what specifically we can pray for. For you, the team, and the people you are in contact with there. Love and prayers! Phyllis
