Day 1

We made it! After a long night of "sleeping" on the plane we arrived in San Jose at 5:30 am. We felt the effects of the struggling airline business. No food what so ever on either of our flights (2hr/5hr). We landed in Costa Rica hungry and tired. Our host, Steve Wright, quickly grabbed us and put us in a van and we all headed up the hill to the Sonlife campus for some breakfast. After breakfast we took a short nap and then it was time to take the tour and get briefed on the work that we would be doing while we are here. After Lunch we began a light work day and did some interior painting of the Latin America Multiplication Building. I was very impressed that we were able to put forth a pretty strong effort after very little sleep. Tomorrow the heavy work begins. The focus of today was Hebrews 11:10, "For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect was God." As we build and as we work...we look forward to what God is doing in our hearts. We are praying that the work we do will be a blessing to the ministry that is here. But we are also putting our faith in our architect, that He has a plan for each us on this trip, that He will grow us through this experience.

Time for Bed!
