Up top: Ms. Ruth & Bottom: Pura Vida
Day Two has been AMAZING! There are no words to compare the amount of awesome experiences. I met Pastor Alberto today. He is a really cool guy. He spoke no English, but I got to pull out my Spanish. I cannot describe my passion for the Spanish language. I tried to use it with whoever I could. Some of the barrio kids got bribed by me with candy. They now think I'm cool. We went to Carolina's mothers house and mixed cement old fashion way. I did some, but Mark, Robin, Rebekah, & Doug were beasts! But Pastor Alberto called us SUPER GRINGOS! (Super Whites) We all want that on a t-shirt now. It's the bomb diggity! Carolina is a 20 year old with 2 children who are precious. There names are Suri, 3, and Evan who will be 2 on Tuesday. I got to walk to the store with Carolina, Doug, Evan, & Suri. We saw a snake. Bought some cookies & cola. I gave Suri a piggy back ride back because her feet hurt. Her mom said she likes to tell stories. We also got to meet a missionary who has been in missions for 60 years. Her name is Ms. Ruth. She reminds me of my great grandmother, and she is an inspiration because she recently lost her husband. Her children wish for her to move back to the States, but she wishes to stay on top of a mountain in Costa Rica. She is precious. Tomorrow I get to help Mariana with her Teen Mom group. We are going to have a princess party. I read a part in my Bible today about not worrying in the book of Matthew. It was a very calming way to start my day. I am just thankful for all of these amazing experiences. Thank you if you helped get me here financially. Thank you for praying for my team and myself. God is working amazing ways here. God is showed me today that I am perfectly comfortable with speaking Spanish. I could live in a country like this and be perfectly happy. I still don't feel like I am in Costa Rica. Ciao Mis Amigos! :D
