Geof left our hotel around 4:15 this morning to fly to Neiva so he could sign the sentencia papers. He accomplished that around 8a.m. His return flight was scheduled for 2:30 in the afternoon, but it is now 5:30 and he just called me to say they had boarded and were getting ready to take off. So he sat around in Neiva all day waiting for his flight! That's okay. We sat around our hotel all day waiting for him to return!! We will be so glad to have him back.
Yesterday, our representative called to ask us if we had looked at Geof's flight reservation for Neiva. She had taken a close look and noticed that it had him departing on August 30th, and returning on September 30th! Oops. So she had to do some fast leg work this morning in order to get him on a return flight for August 30th. We are soooo thankful she was on the ball! It would have been a bummer for him to try boarding a plane only to find he had no ticket!
So today we have eaten breakfast, read our bibles, taken a two-hour Spanish lesson, eaten lunch, painted with water color paints, played in the playroom, taken a walk to the park, walked to the store for some "pitahaya" fruit, and now we are waiting for dinner and Daddy's return. Walking to the park--in fact, walking anywhere around here--is a very interesting experience. It only gets more interesting when you have to cross the steet. In Colombia, the cars have the right of way and if you are a pedestrian you are on your own. So to cross the street, you have to be very sure there are no cars coming from any direction before you set your foot in the street. It can be challenging. It seems like there are never-ending cars everywhere you look!!
So now we are beginning the process to finish up here and get on our way back home. As I said before, if everything goes impossibly smooth, we could leave here this weekend. But you will all need to pray for that to happen, because there are many things that have to come together in order for us to get it all done. It does seem impossible, but if the Lord wills it, it will happen.
It sounds like everything is going great. Praise God! I'm excited for you guys. I've enjoyed reading your updates and sometimes being brought to tears like when Yamille clung to Geof during the questioning. I hope Geof had a great birthday. Everyone here is doing well. There have been a few sicknesses in some families but I think everyone is well now. We will keep praying and looking forward to your return. We love you guys! Angie
