Good Friends Are a Blessing!!

During our short break from classes, our friends from Kansas City, MO, Jason and Kathy came to visit. What a blessing and encouragement they were to us. Kathy, being the “details” person she is, had the entire vacation planned, which was a big blessing to us because it allowed us to just enjoy the time and not have to think about all of the details! We were able to visit a couple of volcanoes (both active), ride the zip lines thru the cloud forest, tour a coffee plantation, and best of all…relax in the hot springs heated by the lava flowing from Volcano Arenal!
We all had some good laughs together, especially when it came to the GPS that we affectionately named “Olga”. We may have had some laughs at her expense, but she directed us to where we needed to go most of the time (although sometimes it was off-road!). When you live in a country where they are no street signs, any help one can get is a gift! Although Olga wasn’t much help when it came to the time when we had to stop and wait for two hours on a two-lane highway while the highway construction workers painted the road. We were first in line, so we just missed being allowed to pass! If you’d like to learn to be a more patient person, just come and visit us because there are many patience building opportunities awaiting you!!!

It was a fabulous trip indeed!!!
We are blessed to be able to take such a trip and thankful that we were able to bless and encourage you both.
BTW - We especially like photo #24 - what a remarkable resemblance.
