Update on Isabel, Company coming, and thoughts on Language school

  • First, an update on our househelper, Isabel. She is doing very well now. Feeling fine and back to her normal self. She really scared us there for a while. Praise the Lord, she is fine and still pursuing God and His will for her life with all her strength!

  • Well, today we receive our first visitors! We're so excited we can hardly stand it. My (Rebecca's) mom, sister, and niece are flying in tonight at 8:30. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to see loved ones and can't wait to show them where we live and what we do! We are planning a trip to a volcano this weekend and hope to take them to see the sights around San Jose. We feel very blessed that over the next several months both Sean's family, and mine, plus a few friends will be able to come see us here in Costa Rica. It helps take the bite out of being so far away from family when we know they'll come see us! Yeah, we know they aren't coming to see us, they're coming to see Brooklyn.....

  • We're both feeling very tired lately. Somebody mentioned that our blogs sound tired. Well, we're not sure how that came through but it's the truth! Gee, learning a language takes much more energy and work than we ever imagined. Our classes are very challenging this trimester. Suffice it to say, we doubt we'll be bragging so easily about our grades at the end of this trimester! But, while we are tired and almost overwhelmed, God has strengthened us and has been our strong tower in time of need! We're still having fun, still loving our life as missionaries, still learning Spanish (somehow) and still enjoying the process!!! We appreciate your prayers for continued strength, energy, and grace to learn Spanish well. We want to wring out our year in Costa Rica for all its worth!
