Day 17 the Columbia team arrives... Sort of...

Hey all :)

We're back to business as usual around here, we woke up early for final prep for the Columbia team that arrived today, EL JARDIN was all system go today :) Villa, our amazing handyman filled up the team coolers with cokes, water and ice and we arranged them in the team common area so that everything would be ready for their arrival, the ladies Ina and Maria who do the cleaning and cooking, were busy going out and buying last minute things like more pineapple and lettuce... Not too mention chicken, you can never have enough chicken lol

Apparently in the hurry to get everything ready this morning Villa Forgot to close the tap on the cooler, the one you use to drain them out at the end of the day, well I was walking through the little common area and about busted my head opens slipping into a puddle of water, well silly me couldn't figure out where all that water was coming from, never occurred to me to check the coolers, but the second Pam surveyed the scene she knew just what had happened....

After we got the water up, it was off to collect our group from Columbia SC, only problem was, not all of them made it on their international flight leaving from Miami... So we collected 12 out of 19. We got them settled in and had some lunch, then took them on a tour of the El Jardin property, took them to seethe construction site that they'll be working on a little this week... And then it was off for our city tour:) it was an overcast day here, Diego all the rain we've been having and it was actually kind of cool which was nice...


We're about to have dinner and then devotions :) It's just business as usual down here in Iquitos and full steam ahead :)

Tomorrow we go to the butterfly farm :) and then we're having lunch out on the town, tomorrow is also the day when the remain ing seven members of the mission team from Columbia will finally make it to Iquitos... I'll let you know how it all turns out :)

Stay tuned
