Tony and Laura Lewry

About a month ago I killed this rat!! I hit it over the head with a but of wood!! The tiles are about 15cm by 15cm just to give you an idea how big it was!!

We went out the other day with our friends Bibi and Emily and their kids. we fished!! and I caught one!! I'd like to say it was bigger than it looked but as an honest missionary I'll just stay silent!! Then I had it for lunch. We also played a game called taiho which involved throwing a metal disk at some explosives, such fun!! We also picked some potatoes but I think this was a different day. Mmmm the first fruits of our labour in Emily's garden.

Today I picked up my temporary travel document after the first 3 sets of photos didn't work!! Then I had to register it with DAS( Colombia's immigration agency) where a crazy lady went crazy!! My new passport didn't have any stamps indicating how I got into the country she went mad saying that I had to pay a huge fine!! After a friendly man stepped in to explain (in better Spanish than mine!) she ushered me into a back room to speak to another man who turned out to be very helpful!! After a few minuets I had everything sorted including the 4 day extension on our visa for Laura and myself which we where thinking would be an ordeal in itself! Fun fun fun!!

I'm commin home soon, one day before Laura!! We are looking forward to seein all out friends and family, and experiencing some of what England has to offer that we have been missing, lamb, sausages, and the sun going down some time later than 6pm. To every one who has offered us hospitality for this time we are very grateful. to everyone who hasn't there's still time!! See you all soon. T.

Last night our dog rocko died We are all a bit sad, he was such a good dog!! whilst I was here he learnt to wait for his food!! He was V. good with the kids. We think he ate a poisonous beetle. We'll miss him!!

So unfortunately we were robbed this week. Very weird. They took my jewellery, loose change and Tony's passport. They walked past Tony's MP3 player, left my passport which was next to Tony's and left other expensive items. They tidied up so well after themselves we were in the cabin more than half an hour before we realised. Obviously we were a little shaken up and confused but now we are having to buy new a ticket home for Tony as he cannot travel through the USA with the temporary passport. Im a little sad about this as I dislike flying and its a waste of money as he has a flight home! We are grateful to God that we were not in and that more wasn't taken. one fun part of all this was the police coming to our little cabin to "CSI" it up! they were good sports and let us take pics of them! So you may wonder what he is doing rummaging around in this box of ladies personal things. I'm ashamed to admit that I hid my jewellery in here, thinking that any real ...
