Today was a really incredible day. We spent the day in the schools of Bogota. Conservative counts say that we ministered to over 1300 students at 8 schools. I got to speak at one of the assemblies at a Middle School. I talked about good values and making good choices. It was a really cool experience. Every school we were met with open arms. At one school after the assembly was over we spent twenty minutes signing autographs and hanging with the kids. It was a neat experience.
Because we are at such high altitudes it is really easy to get sunburned. We have worked really hard to put on sunblock and take all the precautionary measures, but the things is my hair is short and I forgot about my scalp. My head is burnt. It hurts! Okay I am done whining for the day. It is not that bad, I will survive.
Tonight we ate supper at the Bible College and some local vendors came in and sold some of their jewelry and whatnot. It was really cool and we got some really good deals. It was a great end to an awesome day. I am so proud of not only our Thrive Students but all of the students from Georgia. They are working extremely hard and keep great attitudes. They are so stinking awesome. Tomorrow is another early morning and then we are back in the schools. Again.
