There’s no doubt about it, it’s been a hard 16 months serving as your missionaries to the nations and the next generation. While the U.S. is starting to look at the pandemic in the rearview mirror, Colombia’s numbers have never been higher. We’ve dealt with Covid in our home and on our team in the last month. Vaccines are being administered at a snail’s pace. We’re staring at the prospect of another 12 months of ministry with limited capacity and rebuilding all that we’ve labored to build for the last eight years. Honestly, it’s daunting and discouraging. All the while, Colombia is in political upheaval with protests nearly every week. But in the midst of all this heaviness, God encouraged us recently. 

One of our supporting churches in Cary, North Carolina featured our family and ministry during their annual VBS and asked us for a video documenting what life is like for our kids. What a lovely idea! The kids and I made this video for them and wanted to share it also with you. We were delighted to hear our kids reflect on their lives here in Colombia and Laura Kate and I were reminded that our most strategic investment as missionaries is actually in and through these three gifts from God. How beautiful.

We echo their thanks to you for allowing us to serve God’s mission on your behalf!

Gratefully,
Andrew w/Laura Kate, Fox, Evie Jude, & Lucy

We recently hiked to a nearby paramo and a hidden mountain lake
 

Here's a different lake (Lago Tota) with it's own version of a Loch Ness Monster mythology

 
We didn't find the Lago Tota Monster, but it sure was beautiful!

 
We went to the U.S. for a few weeks back in April. On the left, the kids enjoyed seeing Papaw's hangar. On the right, Evie shows off one of the many snakes the kids caught.
