NEW AREA-Pamplona Colombia



Who Dat Sexy Man!



HEY! So after 32 hours of buses and travel. I am here in Pamplona Colombia. It is two hours from Cucuta, and I wish I had time to tell you everything about it, but i have to make it short! It is beautiful here! I love it! Today is my first day here and already I don't want to leave. I am writing to say I am here and everything is okay, just so mom quits worrying about me, haha. I will write on Wednesday and tell you all about Pamplona, and my companion. I will take some pictures too if i get the chance. Know that I am happy and I pray the you are happy every day. Be safe, and hakuna matata...  (means no worries for the rest of your days) ^jajaja... ciao los amo mucho!

Elder Hall!

That building in the middle is the church, it's the one with the green roof. There are only about 20 people that go to church on Sunday. I am teaching English classes and that is bringing in over 20 people every Saturday. I get nervous teaching alot of people. I don't know why, but it is fun and has improved my Spanish alot!

These are a couple chicos playin chess on top of the mountain.

More Pictures

This is my companion as we climb to the Cristo Rey. It is super high and so killer to walk,. but cool and yes that is Elder Quinonez, my albino. He´s super wierd. Ha ha! 

This is the cool little thing I did the other day. This is Jesus.
We hiked up to take a photo.

This is the inside room under Crist. Pamplona is the second most Catholic city in Colombia. Ha, makes work a little tough!

Pamplona Colombia

This is a picture from up on the hill. We have to climb so freaking high to get to our investigators, but the sights of this city are amazing.

 

This is from the other side of the mountain looking away into the canyon to Cucuta. The clouds are flying lower than I am.

This is a little of the city in the nighty night!
