Okay, maybe it’s not out for summer, but at least we’re out for about 2 weeks. We’re ready for the break. We recently received our language results and Scott is at the level he needs to be to go to Mexico and I’m right on his heels. Praise the Lord! We’re still […]

One Saturday evening we had three of the single young people from church over to our house for dinner and some games. It was our way of thanking of one of them, Roger, for coming to our house every Saturday to practice Spanish. The night started with some Mexican food (we checked […]
Holy Week

Each year, the week before Easter is designated as Holy Week (or Semana Santa). We were out of school for the entire week but for everyone else, those who worked in the city only had Thursday and Friday off. So, most of San Jose was shut down for those two days; no […]
Cultural Day

Every semester the language school dedicates one day of classes to what they call Cultural Day. This gives the teachers an opportunity to teach the students about their culture. They offered classes of Latin Music, Latin Dancing, Soccer, Costa Rican fruits and cooking classes. Despite the popular opinion, all food south of […]

The day we had been waiting for has finally arrived. A place we could call home. Living with a Tico family has its benefits and we were thankful for the opportunity to live with Noel and Roxana, but there’s just something about having your own place. And the timing of it all […]

The First Semester is Half Over!
Sunday, February 24th, 2008It’s hard to believe that we’ve completed 7 weeks of language school. Friday each student received their mid-term evaluations. Praise the Lord, Scott and I received very positive feedback from each of our teachers. We still have so much to learn, so please pray that we will have patience because we want to be fluent NOW!

One of the awesome privileges I’ve had so far in Costa Rica is the opportunity to walk around the neighborhood and pray. Every two weeks, Jan and I walk a different route around where we live and pray for business owners, daycare centers, people in the parks, government buildings and schools. We […]

This past weekend, I was privileged to attend a ladies retreat right here in San José. This was not your ordinary ladies retreat. This was one whose focus was ministering to missionary women. A team of 16 ladies representing two churches, one in Oklahoma and the other in Arkansas, lavished us with […]

One of the perks of living in Central America is the existence of the farmer’s market. Yes, I know, they have these in the states as well, but here, it is a way of life. It is a very common sight to see people walking a mile or two, pulling their carts […]
