Today was pretty sweet. We went to the temple
with only the Gringos. Session was great. We then went back to the CCM,
and the 14 old Gringos changed into preparation-day clothes and went on a tour
of Bogotá. After your 4 week mark, missionaries go on a tour of Bogotá.
So the 14 of us took a bus up the mountains
to the base of the steepest part of the mountain. We then took a gondola up to
the second highest mountain in Bogotá where there is a really old Catholic church.
The gondola was super sketchy and the cliffs were crazy. If we would have
fallen, absolute death. Anyway, we rose up the mountain super fast. Everyone´s
ears popped. Once we reached the top, WOW. The view was amazing. Bogotá is
absolutely massive. The city stretches on beyond your vision.
The view was
amazing at the top of the mountain. The church was cool too. It must have been
a pain to build. Really windy and kinda chilly, but so cool. When I come back
to Bogotá, this is definitely a stop on the list.
Anyway, we took the gondola down and
boarded the bus that took us to a museum all about ancient American gold. The
gold pieces were amazing and the museum was surprisingly nice. It was really
cool to explore the museum and see the gold sculptures, pieces, and designs.
Overall, really cool.
We then bounced from the museum and hit
up McDonalds. Wow. Amazing. It felt like heaven inside my mouth. So good to
have relatable food for the first time in 4 weeks. We all savored the burgers
with every single bite. So good and reminded me of home.
We then went shopping for Colombian soccer jerseys. Bogotá is crazy at
night. It was a mad house trying to buy authentic jerseys off the street. We
actually bought them from a shirtless investigator. The jerseys are legit. I´ll
definitely be bringing back a bunch.
The photos are pretty self explanatory.
