We have arrived in Santa Marta! Today has been a great day of team building and preparing for our time with the Kogis starting tomorrow.

Today’s activities started with meeting early at the airport. After having breakfast together, we boarded our short flight to Santa Marta. Once here, we ate a delicious costeño lunch and later split up to go to different stores to buy all the materials, supplies, and food necessary for our time in Trompito Alto.

Our students have been in high spirits, working together and individually to best prepare for our mission to serve the Kogis. They were quick to volunteer for shopping tasks despite the heat and hours of walking involved. We even had a team meeting where we discussed different ways to best serve others and work as a team.

Miss Jeske, Mr. Gutierrez, and I are excited to see our students as leaders with servant hearts this week! We know God will be doing great things. Please pray for energy and good health as we complete the hard hike up the mountain tomorrow for several hours. After the hike, we will begin our activities with the children. Pray also for a great time connecting with them!

We thank you for your prayers and support! Looking forward to updating you again soon.
