Let the weekend begin. Another fast week. This is going to be a three day weekend for us. Monday is a holiday for Costa Rica - "The Annexation of Guanacaste" (a province in Costa Rica). We had a program at the school today. The teachers sang us songs and did some folk-dancing and then we ate tamales!! It was pretty fun. Sean got dragged in by the teachers for one of the dances. He didn't like that but I just think it's funny! Anyway, we came straight home and all three of us took a long siesta (nap). We were up at 3:30 am this morning because Brooklyn's diaper leaked and she woke up wet and mad. Note to self: two peices of watermelon before bed will equal more fluid than a diaper can handle and will result in a disaster in the early hours of the morning...
We had a good time of fellowship last night with the two other MAF families that are currently studying Spanish here in Costa Rica. We bought a new grill and had them over for a good old-fashioned American BBQ! It was fun. We were able to pray together and spend some time encouraging one another. Our little house was packed and there were lots of kids running around but it was great! One of my favorite things is having people over...I should do it more often. I guess sometimes I am waiting for better circumstances (like enough dishes and chairs for everybody!) but things will never be perfect. Fellowship with friends is important. I have to be honest, though, until last week we didn't even have energy for anything extra like that. It takes time to adjust to this new life but I think we're finally there. I must say that I love our new lifestyle. Living overseas is not easy but it is so rewarding. Here we are in God's perfect will and doing the very thing He designed us for - there just isn't anything better than that.
