Wow! Today was a work day for us so Wilson, our trusty driver drove us to the Farm. The streets of Bogota are CRAZY, to say the least, making the drive up the mountain an adventure. The view was great, with a cow or two on the side of the road, small restaurants overhanging the edge of the mountain with a great view overlooking the city. The final road up to the farm is quite steep. I just closed my eyes and prayed we would make it. As we opened the door to get out, the incline was so steep the door actually came off. Thankfully the guys got it back on. It would have been difficult driving back in our bus at the end of the day with no door.
The farm is run by Steve and his wife Evi. It is a beautiful place in the mountains for kids from the streets to have a home. Our team did a lot of different projects with some gardening, some painting, some building a slide addition to the side of a swing set and the list went on. We worked alongside some Colombians making the communication a little interesting at times, but what a blessing to be there and to be involved in such an amazing experience.
One of my favourite parts of the day was the view, which was simply stunning to say the least. It was sad to have to leave, but by the end of the work day we were all pretty tired. The traffic coming home was crazy once again. I thank God that Wilson knows what he is doing! We came home to a wonderful home cooked Colombian meal. Some of the team are across the room playing a game right now. Our first work day is coming to an end.
Tomorrow is another day. I can't wait to see what God has in store for us.
