The LONG Goodbye

We have been sooo busy lately. We are nearing the end of our 2nd trimester here in Costa Rica. Time really does fly.

Andy and I have been having a good time for the most part here in Costa Rica. Spanish is very hard to learn, but we are having small victories with the language. For instance, the pictures of all those kids are from the school that Andy has been teaching at. He goes once a week on Wednesdays to teach children English.. He likes doing, but says they are a little crazy...

The title of this blog is called the long goodbye,,, I titled it that because i am getting ready to say good bye to one of my really good friends here. Her name is Charla Lee. That is a picture of her with her husband, Aaron. She has the white shirt and green tank top on.

It has been a long good bye, because i knew she would be leaving one trimester before me. And we have grown very close over these past weeks..

So, Yes i have shed tears, becuase it is hard to continually leave people you love. First off your family and then your friends.

But, I am not sad!!! I am happy, because I think that God lead me here so we could be friends. Andy and I have met a lot of people who we have become friends with in the last 3 years and I am so thankful!!!

So today i want to share that, i am thankful for all the friends and family in my life. YOU ALL, add so much to my life..

And if you are going through a change in your life remember that God opens doors, and he knows what we need. Right when we need it.

I have needed the friendship that Charla has given to me, many times. And I know that because she is leaving. Does not mean that it will end.

So be encouraged, and open, knowing God provides!!!
