It’s almost 6:00 a.m. and I’m packed and ready to head to airport but I’m lamenting the fact that I don’t feel like I’ve accomplished all that we set out to do.
Jen is going to stay another 12 days to continue to help the Phillips family with all that needs to get done. Colombia is a beautiful place and much more advanced than so many of the countries that I’ve been in but when it comes to getting things done quickly, it’s very difficult. The saying, “It’s not what you know but who you know.” is so much more relevant here. From purchasing an ink cartridge to finding a place to rent, it’s a challenge and very frustrating for those of us who live a privileged life of online shopping and real estate brokers.
Nancy (Mrs. Phillips) will be taking a bus (9 hrs.) to Bucaramanga, her home town and Jen will stay here with the kids. She will be closer to her family and will have a stronger support system. Please continue to pray for the Phillips family. It has been such a joy getting to know them and a privilege to be a part of their lives.
Everyone has a story - I have to ask, how will mine read as I live out my life.
