This year has flown by in a blur! Here's just a few pictures of some of the memories we've made.
We moved back to Colombia after a year in NZ and immediately moved into another house: Casa Kiwi, also in the region of La Calera.
This house was originally used as a rescued children's home, so it has plenty of space and even a playground!
Higher up on the property we have permission to hike on the mountain and use the flying fox (in the US you call it a zipline)!
Our sweet orange kitty (Jalapeño) didn't like our new place and disappeared within a month. Our friend gave us a new kitty and Cedric called him Limon!
It's been 10 years since Cedric joined our family! And 23 years since we got married.
We've had four trips within Colombia this year, here we were in Bucaramanga with friends and Medellin with Grandpa and Liliana.
Our car has spent a total of 2 months at the mechanics and enjoyed two tow rides to get there! Praising God it's been running really well for the past month, they seemed to have fixed all the major issues.
School has been ticking along and we are within 7 weeks of finishing up 4th grade!
Weekly swimming lessons have been a constant. We were so saddened by the sudden accidental death of the lifeguard/teacher (pictured standing). A somber life lesson for the kids.
We have a bread baker in the family... lots of yummy treats!
Part of our new ministry this year has been to provide a place of escape from busy city and ministry life. We've had loads of weekend visitors and enjoy spending time with them.
And we've truly enjoyed being part of a new church and seeing growth in the lives of the people. Even though we are just a small group, it is a happy fellowship and we trust the Lord uses it in a mighty way.
