Back with the Itec family - De regreso a la familia Itec

We recently have gotten home to the states and it feels funny to call this place home. Where is home? Jonatan and I counted the beds we had stayed in this summer and we counted 18, and there is more housed we visited besides that. We have exciting news as to were home will be next year! Stay tuned at the end of this post we will tell you more!

So, the last couple weeks of our stay in the Amazon region we helped Agua y Vida with the assistance of a church from Virginia construct a clinic in a village close to Leticia. We stayed there to assist in whatever needed to be done with the teams and locals. This is where Isabella learned to successfully walk and also "baile", to wiggle her tushy :) Isabella also celebrated her one year birthday there, this place will have a special memory in our lives forever.



After we left Leticia we took some time to visit other places of Colombia. We visited Jonatan's parents which from Leticia is two plane rides, or a plane and a 6 hour bus ride. During this stay we got to let Isabella have time to be spoiled by her grandparents. We went to their farm and got to enjoy relaxing in the Andes Mountains and picking coffee beans.

The last days in Bogota we took a three hour trip to a place called Villa de Leyva and had a time of relaxation. I really needed this and Jonatan did too. We were so thankful to enjoy three days doing nothing and just enjoying walking around and seeing a beautiful city. The center of this city has cobblestone streets, it is breathtaking.





It is good to be "home" for some time. Jonatan returned to ITEC this week and is continuing his training with aviation mechanics. He also will try to built up some more hours of flight time. We are always encouraged to come back here and feel like a family with this organization.

The big news we have is that during our trip to Leticia we found some land. A group of guys, Dexter, Nicolas and Jonatan all are coming together to buy this land as a base for the future ministry. They want to work together in missions and aviation in this area. We have a gofundme account and have more information over the project at this link:

If you know of a church, organization or someone who we could share with we would be grateful.
By next summer we plan to have this land and start with the construction process!

May God richly bless you all and we would love to see you!
