We heard those words, meaning "look at this", about 4000 times this past weekend from the cutest little 2.5 year old boy, Juan Jose. We visited Cali, Colombia and stayed with Juan Jose and his parents, Daniel (a man who we met at the church during our last visit) and his wife, Erica. 'Juanjo' never stopped talking, had the cutest smile, and we immediately fell in love with him. I even got to help him fly a plane at a mall we visited!
The main reason we went was to be there for the ordination of Daniel, a man who we met the last time we were there. The bishop was there and we had a fun reception afterwards. There was champagne and a mariachi band to celebrate the occasion. We spent the rest of our time in Cali with the family. Although we were only there for the weekend, we really got to know them well and got a taste of the Cali culture. It is much warmer there and we loved not having to carry around a jacket!
Right now I am in the Bogota airport (enjoying free wifi AND dinner at crepes & waffles) waiting for Sam and his parents to arrive. They are going to spend a typical week with me here, visiting the mission and exploring Bogota. Mrs. Major, Sam's mom, came up with an idea to do a mock olympics with the kids. We told them about it yesterday and they are very excited..so are we! I'll write all about it in my next update!
Love, Kate
