Hey everyone! So ministry is officially over for us in Colombia. We did our last church service last night, and have had our debrief sessions (time of discussing strengths and things done well during outreach) with our leaders today. I know I personally have had a great time here these past seven weeks. It has been kinda hard leaving the friends we have made at each place, but we know that we have fulfilled all that God had for us here.
I am definitely looking forward to getting back to the states and enjoying the food there. The food here has not been bad, just sometimes lacking flavor. And I probably will pass on rice for awhile considering I have had it for every meal since being here. What I will miss though is the bread and pastries the most. I don´t know anywhere else that you can find a loaf of cheese bread for $1, and pastries for $0.10. And it was nice too that there was a bakery practically on every corner.
Well, the Argentina and Mexico teams leave tomorrow (a day ahead of us) to return to the states, so it will be a nice reunion of the entire DTS on Saturday night when we arrive. Sunday morning our team will be returning to our assistant leaders´church to do a follow-up service for them, going out to lunch as a team, and then doing the necessary laundry that has been building up. And then Monday - Thursday will be spent in a classroom discussing how to acclimate back into your own culture after being gone, sharing with the current DTS (that started after we left for outreach) our experiences, and then graduation on Friday. So a full, but somewhat relaxed week too.
I look forward to updating you in the next week or so of my future plans after DTS, as well as the times that I will be in Georgia and Florida visiting.
God Bless and keep on persevering.

I am glad that you are back in the States. I hope you make it to GA soon so that we can catch up. Congrats on a successful journey thus far. I hope Friday goes well.
