The day started with breakfast at the pink mission house---pintos de gallo--black beans, rice that is delicious with sour cream and salsa!! bread and fruit!
Then Jacob did the devotional...about being bold in our faith like to tico girls are.....Mark encouraged us not to be sad about what we saw today --their hope is in Jesus.....
Next we headed to La Carpio ..... what an amazing place....so many people in such a small place....and so unreal.....and on the day we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ we got to be HIS hands and feet and share HIS love in La Carpio!! what a great way to spend Easter :)
we passed out candy, and bags with toothpaste and toothbrushes and soap.....you would have thought we had gold.....everybody wanted what we had and lots of it...
you can never have enough stuff to give out.
The place is so overcrowded and people everywhere and no sewage or sanitation and everything just runs to the river--how do people live like that?
Lunch of burgers at the mission house then to La Finca after a change into our Easter clothes. The Louderbacks stopped by for a while :)
At La Finca we had a worship service. Jeremiah and Lauren played and sang.. They did an amazing job. Stacy Ezell shared her testimony. She did a great job! Mark preached a message on heaven and hell. The tico kids did a dramatic presentation of the resurrection. worship was so good. Trinity and Noah hung out with us too.
we had pollo con arroz--chicken with rice--it is my favorite meal in Costa--yummy:)
Then they built a bonfire and we helped the ticos make smores. They hardly ever get chocolate here because it is so expensive. It was breezy so the fire actually felt good. Look at the pictures--their kids and our had a wonderful time.
We headed back to the mission house then the kids went on a field trip with the Louderbacks to the MEGASUPER store to get a snack :)
what a day--i feel so blessed to have been here and to see all the today held.
tomorrow is a first--on a mission trip and i get to see a beach :)
Continue to pray that God will help us to be bold in sharing Jesus and that we
will see those divine appointment.
