A super short update..

Hey there! I haven't done a blog post for a while so I thought I'd give you a quick update...

 I was all set to start my project on Monday... but then (as I am in Colombia after all!) I found out the night before that there was a delay and therefore I'm not starting till Thursday (17th). I was initially a bit gutted as I'd hyped myself up but equally grateful for a few more days to prepare and relax a little before the fun begins...

 So yes, I should be starting on Thursday and will post another update then.

 In the meantime...enjoy this video of one of today's modes of transport...

It was funny me telling them where to go and what to do and ordering their food for them at times, as well as talking to the taxi drivers etc. A nice feeling though to be able to show off my language skills! Tehe. We first went to Guatavita for the day - a little town with a lagoon about an hour and a half from B

Hey friends... (Prayer requests underlined as per) Today I started my project! It feels super strange, and slightly ridiculous, that I have been here for 3 months and not started, but trust me.. I really needed the time in the Spanish School! I turned up today expecting lots of children.......however there were only 3 when I arrived at 9am this morning! This did increase to 6 throughout the day! The lady who runs the project said next week there will be many more and that it is unusual for there to be so few.  The morning started super chill, we were given yoghurts to have for breakfast... but we were quickly tasked with thinking of activities for the children . I switched straight into think-on-your-feet teaching mode and had the children draw the person to their left. Given I cannot draw I was quite impressed with mine.. here's the picture (don't worry, you're allowed to laugh!): Afterwards, I tried to explain the game where you draw the head, fold it, pass the
