And That's a Wrap!

Well this is it! Wow, it seems like just yesterday that we arrived in Costa Rica and began our first day here at the campus and now we're all packed and ready to leave for home! For our last day, we worked to complete some painting, trim installation, staining/sealing of trim and even began installation of ceiling boards for the porch covering at the entry of the Multiplication building. We worked straight through our afternoon break to wrap up as much as possible. As can be seen in one of the photos below, Paul (our fearless team leader) got a little hungry so taking matters into his own hands, picked and devoured a green mango off of one of the many fruit trees on the campus!

Steve Wright has commented that we helped to make great progress on the building during our stay, which was quite encouraging to hear! As much as it feels good to hear this, it feels even better to know that within a matter of only two months, this building will be opened for usage in training Latin American missionaries as well as a meeting place for Tico (Costa Rican) youths in the local outreach programs here.

This mission trip has been such an amazing experience for all of us. Not only have we been able to serve God, but have also grown spiritually in our daily devotion to Him. We've met and developed friendships with some wonderful Christian Ticos and gringos (Americans) and have even gotten to know and grow in fellowship with our trip team members! All of us had an opportunity to either learn or practice their Spanish, teach some English words to the Ticos who worked beside us, and learn more about Costa Rican culture!

It is truly a blessing to have the opportunity to be a part of God's awesome plan here in Costa Rica! Thank you to all our friends and loved ones at home for all your prayers and support. We'd like to invite you to join us in continuing to pray for all the missionaries, both Ticos and gringos, here in Costa Rica and throughout the world.

We love and miss you all and will see you soon!
