Hello from Costa Rica!!
Yesterday was full of traveling and catching up on sleep from waking up at 3:00 AM. We flew from Fresno, California to Dallas, Texas the to San Jose, Costa Rica. From San Jose, we jumped on a bus for 3 hours. Finally, after the two plane rides and the long and bumpy bus ride, we all arrived in Boca De Arenal!
Today we had a wonderful breakfast that consist of waffles, beans and rice, eggs, and fruit! After breakfast, we sorted and organized all of the VBS supplies. Then, we were given an hour to find a place on Susan’s property to pray and spend time alone with God. That was an amazing experience. Many of the team members didn’t think they could pray for a whole hour, but they were surprised to find out that they actually ran out of time! In America, we are praised to fill our days with business and looked down on if we have a moment of rest, but here, in Costa Rica, the culture isn’t in competition with a clock, the people here just simply live. After the hour of prayer, we all had some fun on Susan’s lake.
