Hello Mr. Spann and my wonderful students... I bet that as I write this you're all enjoying a wonderful snow day? We are having a great time in Costa Rica! Yesterday the Lord blessed us with some terrific travel - we managed to avoid the snow in Michigan, raced through the airport to catch our plane in North Carolina, and finally landed safely in Costa Rica. But that's only where the adventure begins!!! We had a 4+ hour van ride into the jungle and the road was bumpier than you could imagine. The roads were very narrow and I thought that at times we were going to tip right over the edge... our van drove over bumps and stones and tiny rivers of water until we finally made it to our jungle home.
This morning we woke to a beautiful view of many kinds of fruit trees - tangerines, papaya, and grapefruit. We started the day with a little "God-walk" (remember those 2nd and 3rd grade?) and I found a quiet spot on the hillside to look at God's creation and read from His word. For the rest of the morning we studied the book of Ruth with the Cabecar women and then began our quilting projects. I think that you would all love it here very much! I can't wait to share more about our adventures and thank you for praying for all of us.
God bless,
Mrs. Kreh (a.k.a. Julie)
Hi Julie and everyone! You are in the thoughts and prayers of so many people!
ReplyDeleteWe had a second snow day... as did most of Michigan! We're all so glad you got out of NC before the worst of the storm!
We can't wait to hear all the wonderful stories everyone will have to tell!
God bless and keep you all safe, healthy and happy!

We had 3 snow days!!! Monday-Friday. Can you believe that?! I was able to tell Mr. Spann on Tuesday that your orders were to complete all your lesson plans regardless of any snow days. He got a good chuckle out of that! :)
ReplyDeleteI read this to Chae and she told me all about a God walk. Sounds wonderful!
Can't wait to hear about this awesome adventure.
Love and miss you,
Trisha
