It is hard
to believe that Enrique, David, and I have lived in Costa Rica for almost two
years! My, how time flies. Our service will be up in August and it will
be time to go back to the States.
We have
formed lots of friendships down here and enjoyed the “pura vida”
lifestyle. Our work here is not done so
we are diligently looking for replacements and training them. I know that other people are passionate about
helping children to learn that God made them, God loves them, and Jesus wants
to be their friend forever; God will put the right person in place as the
preschool director for our church. We
also know that other people are passionate about small groups and the spiritual
growth that takes place inside of a group.
God already knows who will replace Enrique in that role.
Our family
and friends in Georgia are very excited for us to go back “home”. We are too, but there is so much to do in
order to get settled! Before we moved
down here, we got rid of all of our furniture, and other things as well. We will need jobs, a place to live,
furniture, and transportation. Enrique's sister and husband have graciously offered us their car and furniture since they are moving to...China!

Being a
part of Openhouse in Costa Rica was a wonderful adventure for us and we felt
right in the middle of God’s will. We
feel the same about moving back to the States.
There are lots of unknowns, but we trust that God has it all planned out
and whatever He plans is the best plan!
We
appreciate all of the support that we have received while we have been here –
encouraging letters and e-mails, prayer support, and financial support. Please continue to support us with
your prayers:
- For us to continue to be an encouragement to our friends and coworkers in Costa Rica while we are still down here.
- For us to honor God’s great name in all things – in all situations, no matter where we are.
- For us to trust God with big decisions that need to be made and to be peaceful and content with whatever happens.
