I am back to normal.



I have completed my theraphy for my arm, and my doctor here, says, everythings looks great. We feel we were very blessed to have such good medical help.

Okay, which way do we go?



In Bogota, there are no street signs on the streets, but rather, they are on walls of houses or businesses that are located on the corners. They are small and very hard to read when you are in a car. A few years ago, the city changed the way they nubered the streets. On the top, is the old address with the red line drawn through it, and the bottom is the correct address. Some people will still give us the old number, and this is a problem because our GPS doesn't recognize the old system.

In incredible wall of graffiti.




We often pass this wall on our way to the Suba stake center. This is real talent at work.

The Suba Stake Conference.




These four flower arrangements were just beautiful. These fresh flowers costed about $45 US all together.











Taxi anyone?



These three local taxis are outside a grocery store, and are waiting to be hired. We need to take one one day and get a photo of our exprerience.

Pico y Placa



In Bogota, we have pico y placa. This means that with every license plate, the driver has to look at the last number on his license plate and there are two days of every week that the driver can not drive the car. With the number two, we can not drive this car every Tuesday and Friday. The dates rotate every year. So, we just get use to which car we can drive, and then the schedule changes. What an inconvenience.

It is all in the tie.



This young man was at our Barancabermeja district conference, and wanted a photo with President Hacking. I figure we have the old mission president and the future president.

An airport bonus.



While waiting for a flight to Bucaramanga the other day, this little band of three blind young men performed at the airport. These young men were around 10-14 years old from the blind school. Very talented
