Today was the first day of work and VBS, alittle hectic but alot of fun! We woke up earlyyy, did devos and then headed out to work. Oh and who could forget breakfast, beans and rice again! :p Most of the guys dug the trench today and put a huge dent in the project. The rest of us had a big painting project to start. The most rewarding part of the day was running the VBS this afternoon. All the kids lovedddd it! Between the snacks, crafts, balloons, music, and outdoor games, I'd say it was a success :) It rained again this afternoon, but I guess we can't complain...we were warned it was the rainy season! For everyone who knows Spanish, it is definitely coming in handy down here...for the rest of us, we're slowly learning :) Love you all and miss you at home!

ReplyDeleteHey Team..And Austin!! Glad you all made it safely - thank you for the posts to keep us updated. We are in the middle of VBS at Floris so we are connected in that way this week.

ReplyDeleteWell Costa Rica crowd...all 3 kittens in the house have joined me here in the chair to wish you well. They, and all of their claws wonder what good things there are to chase there? Lots of mention of rice & beans & cake deliciousness...how about anything that moves? Got bugs? Cool lizards? It is really neat to read your blogs...keep it up. :) I know what you all are doing must be making God smile a lot.
