Colombia

 When I was 11 my family and I took a trip to Bogotá, Colombia. We went in the summer of 2010 and we went there as a missionaries. I personally am not a good person with heights, so this trip was a little hard for me because it was a 8 hr plane ride over the Atlantic Ocean. Also we missed our flight going to Colombia so we had to find another plane and we were running around trying to get another fight. We finally got one and so that meant that we would get to the place we were staying a little later. So as we were going as missionaries my family and I were also going because my brother was adopted from there. The experience I had helping out and having fun with the kids that we did stuff with. Also it was nice because we helped out buy making a water fountain in the school, putting tile in, in the school, fixing beds for people that were broken. My favorite part about it all was when we got to play soccer with the little kids and we took them out to a nice supper and went to the biggest mall in Colombia. It was sad leaving all the kids that we became friends with and hung out with for the whole week and a half that we were there for. It really shows how lucky we are to have a county like this and we take things to an advantage. I would definitely go back and be a part of something than sitting here in the United States complaining that the remote is too far away and I'm too lazy to go get it.

Here's some photos of my trip...
