Well I have been hounded about my lack of posting/blogging so I took the afternoon to learn how to post on blogs and I admit, it’s not as bad as I thought! Costa Rica has been a whirlwind! We’ve been here barely a week and it seems like we have all jumped right into Tico-land. The food is awesome, the people are so kind and we’ve all been blessed in many different ways.

Yesterday we were able to have some intentional girl/guy time. The girls got together for some prayer time and just some moments of sharing our hearts. I feel so blessed to have those girls as teammates but more importantly just friends.
Stacy is so kind and unassuming. She keeps me on my toes about having an intimate relationship with God. She’s a care giver and I love having her by my side. Alison and I are blessed to be neighbors here in Costa Rica (well, when they get to move in.) She has such a passion for people and truly gives her heart. I’ve loved sharing the last year with her and have had more laughs than I know what to do with. Tara continues to surprise me with her wisdom. When we met yesterday she talked about how being here, we were stripped of everything except our identity of being a “christian.” It’s so true and she is so good about seeing situations in such a Godly way.
Needless to say I am BLESSED by these women. Every one of them brings a different aspect to “team” that wouldn’t be as strong without them. The guys took the kids to the park while we met and let me just mention how blessed we are to have such amazing, Godly men on this team. We then switched off the kids and the guys got to go eat, pray and also “share feelings.” Ok, well they didn’t call it that but it’s exactly what went down.
It has been a wonderful few days and were all ready to get started on the Spanish language (ok, well I’m a little nervous.) I’ll write again soon. Blessings to all!
