I see someone parachuting way up in the sky above the mountains (12:45) Our last morning in Los Llanos, we got up around 6:00 as usual and took showers and ate breakfast. We had a final meeting and Julian played the guitar while Sara (and us) sang. Then as many people as wanted to (including myself) said some conclusive words about what had happened on the trip and how God had worked and stuff. Then came the sad moment when the bus arrived for us to leave and we all knew that we had to say goodbye. I especially wanted to say bye to John and the pastor, because in this short time they've been really awesome and left an impression on me with their love and passion for our God and the work he's called them to. I took photos with them, which I'll be posting soon. Then we all got on the bus and drove away. Since I was awake this time and it was day, I saw how first the city got more spacious, then it became individual ranches with small restaurants along the way, then winding roads through the mountains and small, poor towns with lots of trash, then all in reverse as we got nearer to Bogota. It's a big, flat, semi-modern city, and cold. Which was great for me. We entered the airport and, hanging out as a big group in the middle of it, started playing with the light-up water filled bouncy ball. It's Colombian Independence Day so we got our faces painted yellow blue and red by the security guards! Michael and Pastor Steven handed out our tickets and we got to go eat somewhere, so I chose McDonald's and had a Chicken McWrap with bacon and the meal. At lunch they taught me two Colombian jokes that aren't funny in English because 1. The stuff doesn't exist in American culture and 2. It just doesn't make sense. Anyway I've probably told both of those jokes at least 4 times each today. Before boarding the plane, we played throw-the-ball-around-the-airport and Presi and a tiny bit of Al Pin Al Pon. The plane ride was cool, I pretty much looked out the window the whole time I wasn't facing a camera. Back in Medellín we boarded another bus and it took us to the church without much incident. Parents were waiting there and I waited around and walked home with Michael and Sara, at their request. Tomorrow we'll be resting most of the day, and Wednesday night I will land in Georgia. At home Isabel got out of bed and greeted me and heated up some rice, sausages, and platanos with juice. And then I cleaned off my bed, and now I'm going to sleep. Unused emoji of the day: 〰
