Photos of beautiful Colombia.

The new fruit for the new missionaries.


When the new missionaries arrive, we like to introduce them to some of our tasty new fruit that is very new for them. Colombia is full of beautiful flowers and wonderful fruits that we don't see in the USA.

They love their pastries.


Every Saturday and holidays, you can see women like these two selling home made pastries. The Colombians don't like their pastries as sweet as we do.

Our Colombian dentist.


This is our friendly Colombian dentist. She is a member of our church and always helps us with dental problems with our missionaries. She is often talking on her cell phone while she is working on our teeth. You can see the red cell phone. On one of my visits, I was in the chair for 4 1/2 hours. My back hates this chair.

The Suba Stake honors our missionaries.


Every year the stake president in the Suba stakes (he is the man in the white shirt) invites us and all the missionaries in his stake to a very tasty Christmas lunch. He gives all of us a Christmas gift.

Downtown Bogota, is a colorful part of the large city. We often see women in these beautiful dresses to entertain the tourists.
