Home Sweet Home

I was met at the airport by my three bffs. What a wonderful homecoming(they had a sign with an indian on it that said, "Welcome to our country"). My first two weeks in the states were crazy. I held a few meetings for BCM and met with everyone on our leadership team for next year. Every one has a great vision and I'm super pumped about what we are going to try to do. I honestly didn't have time to miss Costa Rica because I was so busy. I also made it up to Grand Rapids to visit some friends.

I also got to check out Club 3:16 which is a kids ministry for hispanic immigrants in Lexington that we started. It was really nice to speak spanish again with a couple of the moms. We do tutoring at the local library and go on saturdays for a bible club. I'm looking forward to picking that back up in the fall.

Now I am in Alabama with my family finally! I am so happy to be with them after so long. I am going on a road trip to Texas with my dad next week to visit friends, BCMs and seminaries.

I'm pretty focused on this passage currently, Colossians 1:21-23 (gospel...woop!)

Me voy hasta dos semanas...

I'm coming home two weeks from today. Goals before I leave:

1-Go to Nicaragua
2-Become totally fluent
3-Run for President of Costa Rica as a write-in candidate

Last week was Semana Santa which is a week here where all the Catholics do stuff every day and everyone else goes to the beach. I don't know if it's disrespectful to just say they do stuff. If you feel like it is, you can look it up on Wikipedia and be more informed and norant(opposite of ignorant?)

So I went to Panama with all my friends from school. We had a blast. This is all the girls.

Also last weekend I went to a volcano with Julia. Apparently it's the second biggest crater in the world. But that could be a lie...check Wikipedia.


Kelly: I'll be in Murray probably May 10.

For my bird loving amiga

Upon the insistence of Kelly Doran I went ziplining this weekend in Monteverde. This is a pic of me coming in. It was absolutely fantastic. When I learned about the rainforrest as a child this is what I envisioned it to be.

There was so much wind on Friday night that I actually lost one of my flip flops and proceded to walk the mile or so back to our hostel with one bare foot.

We saw a Quetzal(This too is for KD)


Sunday I went to Jaco Beach and learned to surf. Finally! All is right in the world.

I have to present a bible study in spanish next week which will be difficult but fun too. I found that it is best for my spanish to stay in town because everyone traveling seems to know english.

Big update: I actually have friends. It's pretty exciting.
