Some of the things we’ve seen here in our first four weeks have been quite funny and some of them downright dangerous. For instance, they have these things called “Gringo Traps”. You may be walking along the sidewalk and suddenly find yourself flat on your face because, while you were looking around observing the lovely things of Costa Rica, you fell into a crater-like hole!! Fortunately, we haven’t succumbed to those traps, but other missionaries haven’t been so fortunate.
One of the things we’ve found funny (in our own weird way) is the difference between gated communities in the States and gated communities here. In the States, only the elite neighborhoods are gated. In Costa Rica, every house in the city is gated!! I believe the mentality goes, “if it’s not locked up, it’s fair game.” We’ve come to realize even living in the States that one cannot hold on tightly to the things of this world or “stuff”. Otherwise, we spend all of our time worrying about losing it when there are much more important things in this world, like those who die every day without knowing Jesus Christ as their Savior and are condemned to an eternity in Hell.
If you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, please click on the link “Do you know?” to the left towards the bottom of this page to learn more about how to become a Christian or write us and we can tell you how! God Bless!
