Happy Easter! We've celebrated a little bit differently this year (less eggs, candy and creepy bunnies) but it was great to see a small example of "every nation and all tribes, peoples and tongues" celebrating the Resurrection today.
A year ago, we were flying to Orlando to celebrate Easter with a brand new diamond ring on Carrie's finger. This past year has brought a lot of changes - we NEVER guessed we'd be writing a blog about our experiences as English teachers in Colombia - but we have been blessed so much. We have a good God and we are having a ton of fun being married.
For the past 10 days we've been hosting a team of 20 high schoolers from Calvary Church in Charlotte - they were awesome. They worked hard, rolled with the punches and made some great relationships with the students in La Esperanza. They're touching down in the States right about now and we've finally had some time to write after a couple weeks of being MIA. Here's some pictures of what we've been up to:
 |
| Bo and one of our students, Juan, at Pizza Vomito (yep, translated Vomit Pizza) - it's one of the kids' favorite spots and we figured we had to try it. It's a terrible blend of everything in the kitchen but those plates were clean before the end of the night. |

| Carrie with some of our favorite L.E. students |
|
 |
| Most of our S.A.M. team at the airport to greet our newest member Jesse Anderson - we've been having to explain that being 6'5" is in fact NOT a qualification for the Santa Marta team. |
 |
| Some of the gals from the Calvary team hand-mixing some cement - it wasn't quite as fast as the guys' batch but it was much "prettier" |
 |
| Carrie and her battle wounds from some games with Calvary and La Esperanza kids - she won...competitive much? |
Hey guys! It's been great to follow your blog and see all that is going on. Looks like yall are having a blast. Know you are all in our prayers. Much love from Charlottesville.
