Our first country has already come and gone! Last week was our last week of ministry at the foundation in Colombia. My team helped with recycling, cleaning the foundation, and packing bags of bread to hand out to the homeless. On Saturday night, our whole squad helped with the youth program that the church runs. We sang some worship, played games, and ate snacks with local teenagers that attend church at the foundation. Our last few evenings there were spent playing games and swing dancing on the roof. So much fun! We had to say lots of hard goodbyes, but that’s how we know that our time there was well spent. It was hard to leave, I made so many sweet friends that live and work at the foundation!
On our last adventure day, some of us took the cable cars up the mountain to a really cool national park type of thing. There were vendors and lots of hiking trails, but it was late and starting to close when we got there so we didn’t get to do much. But it was really good to get out of the city again and get some fresh mountain air.
This week is our debrief, where we are staying in a town a couple hours outside of Medellin. Our squad has two mentors and two coaches who stay in the US, but they came this week to be with us at our debrief, so it’s been really sweet to see them. I will write about debrief more next week!
I’ve started selling fundraising tshirts also! Here is a link for them. The last day to buy one is November 30th! https://campaigns.fundthenations.com/shelby-s-world-race-fund
Got bless,
