Going The Distance Experiences

Dear Family and Friends, HOLA from Costa Rica!
Apologies for not getting these pictures out a little sooner.
The team has been NON stop since we arrived and it's been amazing.
We are blessed to have a wonderful team full of enthusiasm and love for the Lord.
God is good and his love is shining upon us here. We are so blessed to be working with

the local missionaries, Doug and Gayla Richardson and some local Costa Ricans. They have been looking after us in countless ways.

In the past 5 days we have attended a local church service, went zip lining through the canopy of the rainforest, painted...pressure washed and cleaned up the yard of a little school just up the road from the GTD property, traveled to the Playa Hermosa (Beautiful Beach), danced with the locals to live music, taken a tour of the property, spent our mornings in devotions, listened to testimonies of the missionaries and locals and have grown in many ways.

God is doing GREAT things here and there is so much to share. This is just a taste of what we have been doing.
Thank you for all your prayer.
We will update you again soon.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Our team with Airselli, Juan (local Chrisitain musician ) and his daugher Lillianna.

Airsellie and Lillianna have been cooking most of our AMAZING meals. Juan shared his testimony with us, lead us in worship and played his music for us.

I spent two days pressure washing the sidewalks and walkways of the school. You can see on the left where I had cleaned in this picture.


Me helping to repaint the wall of the fence. We will be finishing the wall on Thursday.

Erika and Kristina painting their hearts out.

Before pictues (after pictures to come soon).

Doug gave us a tour of the property. He and his wife are originally from Canada and have been here about 2 years now. Doug knows the property very well. There are horses, cows, cats and dogs on the property that Doug looks after.

A view fo the property with some beef cattle.

On our way home from zip lining. It seems as if this volcano can be seen from everywhere. It's a beautiful view.

Alex "Shaggy" helps us with our Spanglish!!
He is an amazing young man with a HUGE heart for God. He does a lot of work with YWAM and is looking to go to college sometime this year.

This is one fo the most beautiful views we've seen.
