COSTA RICA YOUTH TRIP DAY 2

What a wonderful day!!!!

Started at 6:15(8:15 Ga time)....headed to the pink mission house for breakfast. Delicious pancakes, fresh fruit and eggs :)

After a devotional by Paul Brewer on Gideon and being confident in sharing Jesus with people, we headed over to La Finca. The youth were awesome!! The groups divided and some painted the entire inside of the house and outside. The others dug a trench and then mixed and poured concrete. Some kids hung out with the tico kids and played soccer. The kids worked soo hard today. Trinity hung out with us and worked really hard too!

Then at 1230 we stopped for lunch. It was delicious--black beans, rice and chili! The church leadership kids held a bakesale to raise money for band instruments for the praise band--yummy sugar cookies and brownies :)

After lunch we did kids club for about 100 kids. The youth made balloon animals and bunny puppets with the kids. The tico kids loved it so much and our kids were so blessed working with them. Tina, Tim, GL, Eden and Noah came and helped us with the kids club.


Supper at the mission house was chicken, potatoes and rice. YUmmy:)

Veronica a tico girl shared her testimony about accepting Jesus--she is part of the disciple leadership team and now knows about 500 verses---amazing :)
Mark shared about the way the kids from Los Guidos are discriminated against and made to feel like they are nothing! He encouraged us to go home and to be Jesus to the kids/people/neighbors that dont have Jesus and are different from us.

In the morning La Carpio--excited for the youth to see that place!!

Pray for our safety, rest, strength and for our families at home.

Happy Easter!!!
