Hola! from Costa Rica!! Wow! What an experience this is :) Last night after supper Phillip and Saukeen told us a little bit about themselves, how they met and what brought them to this ministry. What a wonderful blessing they are! After that us "girls" went back to our house and had our own devotional andshort of a wind-down time. That was a blessing to me - what awesome friendships we are forming. Our hope was to be in bed by 9ish. Our days start very early here :) After our own personal quiet-time with God, and another great breakfast we headed to the church to have a Bible study time withthe Cabecar women (studying the book of Ruth, which has been quite cool to me-most of the girls went on a hike yesterday afternoon and Maggie and I stayed behind and had our own little devotional time with both of us reading the book of Ruth) and then to get started with our sewing. Pretty comical - the Cabecar woman I am paired up with to "teach" (Zoila) was sewing circles around me :) Haha! Maggie and I stayed behind this afternoon to help finish up some sewing so we are ready to move on the the next step tomorrow and the rest of the group took another hike to one of the Cabecar woman's home (Maria). I'm looking forward to hearing all about it and see some of the great pictures I know they took.

I am missing my family (AND FRIENDS ) very, very much! And yes that also means the furry ones ;)
Love to you all!
