Fun, Fun and More Fun!!!


Every year the New Life Church of Los Guido has a Talent Show after the Sunday service, follwed by a time of fellowship and roasting marshmallows. Although it is not my talent, or perhaps it may be, I was recruited to swing dance. The iceing on the cake was presented when we smiled, showing our hill billy teeth and filling the room...with laughter of course.



ONLY ONE MARSHMALLOW LEFT!?!?




Anyone want smore!!! Making smores...Costa Rica style.


A couple of weeks ago the leadership team from the New Life Church of Los Guido had their two week break from school. As a reward for their dedication, willingness to serve, and hard work in the church, the missionaries make it a must to take them to Parque de Diversiones every year. Referred to as a "wanna be" Six Flags, this theme park was a tremendous reward and served as a great opportunity to bond with the leadership team.



Serving as the only "roller coaster", Sherling and I took on the challange together as this ride was considered the scariest, yet most liked.

  2. Roller Coasters? I thought this was a mission trip? Just kidding. That is so cool that they take the kids who serve to a park to play. I am sure they derserve this reward of play time and fun.

    That is a BIG fire. How does anyone get they mellow to be golden brown. They must burn up.

  5. I love, love, LOVE the fact that you're spending so much time and effort building up these young people!

    It's also amazing to see through all your updates how much has actually happened in a rather short period of time. You're a rather tireless worker it would appear (perhaps with the exception of when you're at an amusement park)! Keep up the great work!

    It is a true blessing to be apart of the ministry here in Costa Rica. To know that God hand picked me to be here for seven weeks brings great encouragement and joy. Not only serving this church, but serving with this church has brought about tangible fruit and miracles.
