Today we went site seeing and souvenir shopping in Bogota. We were able to ride a sky tram to the top of Mount Monserrate and see the huge city of Bogota from 10,300 feet above sea level. The view was amazing! We were also able to look through the beautiful Catholic Church on the mountain. While beautiful, we did not feel the same warmth that we felt at the other churches we have visited this week.
We were able to visit a mall with a food court at lunch. Remarkably, the mall was very much like what we're used to.
This evening we were given an amazing surprise by the Tenjo church. We were serenaded in Spanish and English! Our brothers and sisters came to our camp to show their appreciation to God and us in song and small gifts. We were all greatly humbled by the experience. Tears were shed as Amazing Grace Our Chains Are Gone was sung together in English.
We're going to grab a few hours of rest. We leave camp at 4am (5am EST) for the airport. Please continue to lift us in prayer as we travel all day tomorrow.
