Despedidas

Despedidas - farewell

Last week we had our team despedida for the Jesch family & last Sunday, we had one at church for them & another couple, one of our leaders here.  Tuesday morning, the Jesch family flew back to the states.  It was hard saying goodbye & we will miss them so much.

First, this is a picture from church on Sunday.  Colombia observed Father's Day a week late because of the Presidential election the previous Sunday.  They have elections on Sundays here. 
 
This is also a picture from Sunday at church.  This is during the children's sermon that our pastor, Javier, teaches to the kids.  That is Brook sitting in the back.  Pray she understands the words & meanings of this soon!

Avery, Marilyn, Esta, & Matt

 
Mateo spent his last night in Bogota with us in his old room.

Saying goodbye at 5:30am...in our Colombian jerseys in honor of game day
(Oh, & Colombia beat Japan 4-1)

There they go with the Colombian flag in the distance.  Pray for us as we adjust to not having our first support system here.  Pray for us as we said our goodbyes to the closest friends we had here for all 4 of us.
