Pack Flexibility

We're sorry that our posts have been few in number since our time in Costa Rica! Since I (Erica again) have been in the States, I haven't heard much information from them and, thus unfortunately, haven't gotten the blog updated. I promise once I'm there, I'll have everyone write something hopefully everyday! I am currently sitting in the Kansas City airport waiting for my flight to Denver which will then lead me to flight to Costa Rica to join the troops. To say "I can't wait" would be an understatement.

Here's the latest info I have from the team: Pack flexibility! :) It sounds like they are LOVING every minute of their time there, but it also sounds like they are learning about just trusting in God's plan for their days. These lessons actually began before we even left for Costa Rica (for example: I am in Kansas City, the team is in San Jose). I'm praying that God will continue to teach us to rely on Him and trust only in His plans.

Yesterday they had a free day and here is what they told me about it (thanks Julie for the email):

"We went to a public pool in a jungle and had fruit and sandwiches for lunch. Then went to a mall near by and saw Robin Hood. Then went to McDonalds for lunch. It was an American Day!

Tomorrow were going to a valley and checking out some historic churches and fishing in the river near by. Not sure how it will pan out since all of our plans change every minute. You need to pack flexibility for your time here.
Fernando is the best driver we could have ever asked for. He spent all of the day with us today. He is like a Costa Rican Santa Claus."

Thanks for checking on us and praying for us. We'll write more soon!
