I can tell that we are going to be friends.





Andy and I had the opportunity to visit a school this last weekend. We went with a group called Piedad. Piedad is a group that works with schools in latin America. It helps sponser children who are very poor to be able to attend school. People sponser the children and then Piedad sends the sponsers updates and report cards..
We went with this group to do an outreach for the kids.. We had so much fun, the 3 girls in the top picture, I met when we first arrived. I could understand alot of what they were saying and that was a blessing to me.. Andy brought his football and played catch with a lot of the boys. That is a picture of them in the area where they have recess..
On Sunday we went out for a farewell dinner with our LandLords. They took us to a fancy restaurant about an hour out of town. The pictures on the left are of the area. Andy and I are standing in a little hallway of Passion Fruit. And the bottom left picture is of coffee fields and a small town next to it.
We have about 2 weeks more here in Costa Rica. And I am so happy that we got a chance to go to this school, at the school, many kids prayed with us and we became friends with alot of them..
It was a great experience and we got to use a lot of our Spanish.
Have a great day.

My List!




Okay,,, what I should be doing now is studying Spanish... What am I doing, everything but that..

It is now 42 days until Andy and I arrive back in Iowa. We will spend about 4 weeks with our family,and then we pack and are off to Guadalajara, Mexico...


Besides spending tons of time our families and friends, and getting my hair done by someone who speaks English...THANK YOU LORD!! I have a list of things I would like to do while I am home.


3 things on my list:


1. BUY A DOG... I have been wanting a dog for the last 3 years, and no we are able to get one. And I am psyched!!!!!!!!


2. FINISH THE LEMONY SNICKETS BOOKS: They were a present I received at Christmas, from my Mother in Law.. And I am now on #10 of 13.. I found that I really enjoy reading..


3. GO FISHING: I want to do this, I do not have a license. And i really do not know why I have the urge. But I am going to do this.. And i want to do it at Yellow Banks Park, with my brother. He knows nothing of this plan. But he will go... I just know it..


Well this is my list and I am sticking to it.
