Trip to San Juan de Urabá

This past weekend Jorge, Marley and I made a whirlwind 36 hour trip, touching 4 states along the northwestern coast of Colombia. On Saturday morning we left at 6 am and drove to Paso Nuevo which is the spot where you take the boat to Isla Fuerte. There we dropped off two guys from YWAM´s university student ministry who were helping to lead an outreach group to Isla Fuerte. While there we got to see Samy who took the boat over to meet up with the university guys. From there we continued on our journey to Montería where we dropped off Marley so that she could visit her family. Then Jorge and I drove on a few more hours to San Juan de Urabá, which is in the state of Antioquia. There we visited with our dear friends, Julio and Dominga, who are pastors. Actually they were the pastors in Bocachica when we first arrived over 11 years ago. They have since transferred to another location but we still keep in touch. On Saturday we drove 9 hours. While in San Juan, Jorge preached twice and the next day at 9 am we headed back home. We stopped back in Montería to pick-up Marley and visit her family, The Reyes Family, who were pastors in Bocachica for 6 years after Julio and Dominga were transferred out. We got home at close to 6 pm Sunday evening. We were happy but exhausted and are still recuperating!
