Monday in Costa Rica

Today we went to the Project and toured the grounds. So much had changed since early January, when we were last here. The ditches that were dug, and the septic tank areas were all leveled off; the soccer stadium walls are higher now, and there is more of a circular shape to the outside of it. The wood shed area where we all pulled nails is now covered by a metal roof. A team that came in last week built the children a beautiful playground. We are so excited.


Part of the team worked in the daycare area until lunch time, and the rest cleaned and painted metal poles for a new fence that will run behind the playground area as there is a steep drop off now, and just a small wooden picket type fence.

This morning was my time to work in the daycare, and it was so much fun. Today’s story was about Jonah and the big fish. We taught children age 4 up to 14 today. They had a coloring page of a fish and got to decorate them with stickers too. The children were all precious, and so much fun to be around. That time went by so fast!

When we were finished working it was time to go to Hiper Moss which is Costa Rica equivalent to Walmart. Here is where we picked up coffee for several people at a fair price.

Tonight, Jason & Kerby are coming to have dinner with us at Franco’s and then hanging out for devotions.

My heart sang praises today as I watched our boys working. Cory dug holes and picked up scrap lumber, and he cleaned fence post. Brian worked with wheelbarrow toting dirt from one place to another, then spent some time swinging a pickaxe to break up the dirt; he also cleaned and painted fence posts.

I look at their tired dirty faces, and am just so thankful to all that partnered with our family to help us go back to Costa Rica. They contribute so much and are hard workers. Many of the college students complimented the boys today.
