Today we said goodbye to one of our group members. Jarrett. He left at 10:30 this morning and we were very sad to see him go. Our prayers are with him now as he will be arriving in Boston around midnight tonight. It puts a smile on my face to think about the first time his mom sees him and what her reaction will be! We are sad that he is no longer in Colombia with us, but we are glad that he is able to go home to his family and be with them (and see his brother graduate from high school- way to go Dalton!!!) Jet worked hard down here and was the most well rounded spanish speaker in our group! Personally I got to spend a significant amount of time with Jarrett and feel very blessed to have worked with him, laughed with him, and shared our stories with each other. It definitely will not be the same without him here!
p.s. If you are wondering why we may at times refer to Jarrett as Jet it is because Colombians (Weimar, our host father, in particular) can not pronounce Jarrett and so he was named Jet... which also happens to be the name of a chocolate bar here.
