Colombia

Hey everyone! As a lot of you know, Raulito and I took a trip to Colombia at the beginning of October. We left the kids with a friend here in Utah and took off for a week and a half. We had a wonderful time. We hardly slept because we were visiting and traveling. Two nights we slept on a bus...not fun, especially when the bus got a flat tire and we were stuck for 2 hours without any AC in the middle of the night!!! We brought Raul's mom back with us. That part of the trip was pretty emotional, especially since Raul's brother is still in Colombia. The ward had a good-bye party for her and everyone cried so much!!! She really is a special woman. She is adjusting well here, though. She is motivated to learn English and excited to be with us and the kids. She and I get along very well, thank goodness! We took almost 700 pictures while we were there, but the disappointing news is that we don't get to share them with you... During the LONG trip back to Utah, in the middle of the night...somehow our camera stayed in LAX... We are SOOO SAD! Not so much because of the camera but because of all the pictures that were lost. We kept hoping that someone would turn it in, or at least the memory card, but to no avail...Oh, well, we still have the memories. Besides that, the trip was a blast! The kids were really good with the babysitter, although they missed us a lot. We're planning to go back sometime in the next few years and take the kids with us.
