Bogotá and Fusagasuga

Bogotá is experiencing one of its rainiest seasons ever.  There is flooding in many parts of the country and a lot of rural people are affected with flooding.  Bogotá is a nice city when the sun comes out!

Bill and Angela's apartment is located on the fifth floor of this block of apartments.  There is no elevator.

 There was great celebration when Cedric Thomas arrived home after a few days in the NICU.

The Andes Mountains look majestic on a clear day.  This is the view from the 5th floor apartment above the other buildings.

A visit was made to the city of  Fusagasuga for a meeting with prisoners in the local jail and a meeting in the evening.  Fusagasuga is a two hour drive south of Bogotá through some rugged mountains.  With so much rain there were a lot of potholes and landslides on the road.  The region is known for its poultry and pig farms to supply the Bogotá market.  You could certainly tell it was that sort of enterprise by the smells!  Fusagasuga is 3,000 feet lower than Bogotá with a population of 100,000.  It was interesting visiting several homes and to meet some of the local people.

Evening meeting in a home in Fusagasuga.  It's great to see people with an interest in hearing the gospel message, 

Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
