Everyone had a great time! Lunch was soy burgers, potatoes and CR slaw -- all amazingly good. This is a place we will most likely return on a future trip. We met two very sweet nurses from Germany on the van ride and they are coming over to see the community and the work the church does here this Saturday...cool!!!
We hear it's cold and snowy back home, so a few more days in the sun is more than welcome. We are very excited about the upcoming ministry in the days ahead -- the Marriage Conference begins tomorrow night, so please pray for that. Projects start to wind down, youth group meets tomorrow night and several personal visits with friends in the community will take place too! We are also going to do throughout the community passing out tooth brushes and showing children how to brush their teeth well. These will be intense days, so seek the Lord for His grace and mercies for us!!
Hello to everyone down in Tico Land. I want you all to know that I am excited for you to be there but I must admit, a little jealous of you. I knew months ago that this trip wasn't for me, but the flesh wants to be there. God is certainly faithful though; it is very clear now that there is absolutely no way that I could be away from C'Bus right now. I was slightly aware of the reason why when the decision had to be made, but now it is very clear. I know that you are all having a great time! I really miss the early morning times out on the balcony before everyone else gets up. There is nothing quite like the peacefulness that barking dogs, crowing roosters, noisy buses and the eggman brings.:) It was on that balcony last year that I was seeking an answer about a hefty decision that needed to be made. I opened my Bible and the words of Solomon were very clear in giving me what I needed. That decision has set me on a journey this last year that I wouldnt have imagined just a year ago. I guess the point is that I feel like going on a trip like this jsut helps clear the lines of communication between us and Him. I hope that all of you are experiencing the same thing. I can honestly say that Los Anonos and the home that you are staying in feels like my second home. I cannot say right now whether or not I will get to come back, but I certainly hope so. Please give some extra hugs for me. Give a special hello to my friend Luis, Rodney, Cindy, Stevie, Julie, Kevbo, Ellie, Oh, alright, everyone. God Bless you all. Craig
