Last night we went to a nice mall and resturaunt here in Bogota. We found a cheap teeenybopper accessory shop (think Claire's). Isa spent about twenty bucks on hairclips, ear rings and such. We had a nice time.

This morning we were again reminded of the contradictions here in Colombia. After a somewhat normal experience last night, this morning we saw a television program exposing the drug trade, prostitution, and poverty so prevelent in this culture. I know these evils are also in the States, but the concentration in Colombia, especially in the small cities, is beyond description. I am tempted to feel hopelesss for this culture. Pray for Colombia. Pray that the Gospel penetrates this country, that is the only hope...

"Now to Him who is able to do exceeedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh within us, unto Him be the glory...." Ephesians 3:20

We have reason to hope.
