My Colombian Chapter

Just a little update to share my Saturday with you! I went to my project as it was a kind of party to welcome the new children to the comedor and share with them a little bit more about God. Part way through the lady who runs the comedor said 'and now Anisa and Rachel are going to share a bit about their best friend God'! That was the first we knew about it! Challenging in Spanish but I think we actually ended up doing a pretty good job (if I do say so myself). Anyway, the super duper cool thing was that all of the new children were given a box of presents from Samaritan's Purse! Those of you from St Paul's (and I'm sure many more) will know the significance of this - it is amazing to see where they end up and the joy they bring to so many children! The children were unbelievably excited to open them and loved all their presents.

Hola! Thought it was about time I gave you a little update, though to be honest this mostly involves some reflections rather than specifics about what I've been up to. I'm not even going to underline prayer requests in this.. it's pretty obvious. (Sorry if this doesn't read very well, it was quite tricky to write and doesn't flow easily.) Today was an interesting day. It was brilliant, in so many ways, but also interesting. Today my heart broke that little bit more for this city. On the bus, on the way to my project, I sometimes seen a lone prostitute stood on the street corner. Not often, but every now and then. There is a particular area that we go through where I see this (bear in mind this is at 8.30am). Today, on my way home at 4pm, I saw at least 6. It gave me a little more incite into the deepness of this problem - it isn't just on those days that I see 1 that 1 prostitute exists. This is happening all day every day. And my heart broke just that littl...
