Hola from Bogota!

Well I have been in Bogota for 4 days, and I have been SOOOO busy! We are working hard to get the school done. The dedication and grand opening is on Saturday, and right now it looks like it´ll never be done. But the work is going fast. They waxed the 2nd floor today, and the 3rd and 4th a few days ago. Now its just the first floor and all the stuff needs moving in.
Today we fitted all the kids for their uniforms. The boys have pants, that needed hemming to be the right length. And the girls get pleated skirts or jumpers. And some of these needed hemming too, cause they were to skinny for their length.
We have also been sewing smocks for the little kids, for crafts and other things. They need about 40 of them, and we have all cut out, and in various stages of sewing.
The 3 houses, Bethel house, and the school are all in the same area, so its not far to go from one to the other. The Numbers house, where the girls are is the farthest, and is 2 blocks straight down from Bethel. It seems to get longer and longer each time you walk it.
I had brought with me a craft to do with the girls. It was to make decorated compostion notebooks, using scrapbooking stuff. Yesterday wasn´t as busy, so I was able to do it then. They were so cute, making them. Each one was different, and unique. I was so glad to be able to bring it for them.
The team that I am here with are from Albert Lea, MN and Bangor, WI (areas). There are a total of 13 of us in Bethel. Oh, theres also a gentleman from Ireland who is here until March. They are all really nice. And I learned today that the 2 gals who are younger than me, are homeschooled. So its been nice to have young people to talk too. There is also a gal who is about 22, who reminds me of Melissa. ( :) ) She is so full of life, and is so animated and loves to play with the kids. They are all really sweet.
Well, I should be wrapping this up, I need to get back to Bethel.
Oh, please be in prayer for their container. It was supposed to arrive on Tuesday. And it has a lot of clothes and shoes and school supplies that they need. But its been confiscated by the port because they didn´t file the papers correctly. (the shippers, not CVII) so pray that they can figure it out and get it here on time.
