| We visited a convalescent home. |
 |
We sang songs and the children brought so much joy
to the people. |
 |
We made home visits and brought friendship, joy, prayer,
and food. |
 |
At one of Donovan's house visits this
little girl wanted to be held by Donovan. |
 |
Jen was the group leader for the High School group that came
from Dallas, TX. |
 |
We had a blessed time visiting houses
to pray with the people who lived there. |
 |
| We were so blessed by the joy of this family. |
 |
| Gabriel loves to "drive"! He really hit it off with our bus driver. |
 |
We gathered each day at the elementary school
near Pablo's for our work project (cleaning, painting, etc)
and to share songs, testimonies and play with the
children. |
 |
| Our kids enjoyed coloring and playing together. |
 |
Pablo leading us in praise & worship songs at the
elementary school. |
 |
Suzanna (Joseph's sister) came to help lead the
mission trip. Here she is translating a testimony
of one of the high school girls. |
 |
The school needed to be painted and we had lots of
hard workers! |
 |
In the evenings we gathered at a high school for
evangelization. |
 |
| Suzanna giving a testimony in Spanish. |
 |
The children sang songs and taught the students the hand
motions. |
 |
The group and the students played group games, jump rope,
soccer, & hulu hoop. Playing crosses language barriers
and makes friends! |
 |
| We shared some of the words of JPII in our testimony. |
 |
The children singing in the chapel while visiting with
a local community. Children really DO make the
best missionaries! |
 |
Walking to a waterfall for our Desert Day (a time of personal
prayer in nature with your Bible and the Lord). |
 |
We climbed down to the waterfall
(about 500 stairs). |
 |
Going down was fairly easy but for those of
us out of shape coming back up was a
challenge (especially when all the
high schoolers ran past, ha, ha)! |
 |
| God's creation is AMAZING & POWERFUL! |
 |
| We spread out with our Bibles to pray. |
 |
I love this photo of the Geerling Family.
We are so blessed to have them here in
Costa Rica with us!!! |
 |
We ended the day with a super special treat:
ice cream! (we don't have ice cream shops
in our town so when we travel to another
place the girls LOVE to get ice cream. |
 |
The group had so much fun getting to know Pablo and
his family. |
 |
| Saying goodbye to our new friends. |
 |
The hotel blessed us with a free breakfast because
they enjoyed our group so much and wanted to say
thank you to us for staying there. It was a yummy tico meal
of gallo pinto, friend plaintain and scrambles eggs. |
 |
The group from Dallas brought 25 people, plus our missionaries
and Pablo's family. |
 |
| One last chance to drive :) |
 |
| The kids made leaf hats at Pablo's house with Suzanna's kids. |
Thank you all who made this mission such an amazing blessing to us
and to the communities we served!
