Hit the ground running...

Well what a week!

Our first week back at language was both hard and wonderful! Joe and I both enjoy our classes but felt a little overwhelmed at first with the homework :-) But God knows and they are wonderful! I started out the week with singing commitments and Joe with Sound commitments. Then on Thursday I helped a few of the lady teachers practice their typical Costa Rican dance for the New student Fiesta on Friday by running the sound. And the next thing I knew they had roped me into dancing with them. Oh yes... you heard me...LOL ! I was able to learn a few typically steps and surprised Joe by coming with the ladies... I even pulled him into it too! LOL
Joe and I were able to observe a traditional praying to Baby Jesus last night that the family in front of us invited to. We were both blessed but grieved at the same time as many of the prayers were to Mary. Lord help us be a light! :-)

Back to the Grind Stone... and Scripture coming Alive!

Well here we are again. Another Trimester awaits us beginning on Monday. This will be our last trimester here in Costa Rica... our last trimester of learning the Spanish Language. Although it comes as a relief some what. I am nervous, I am scared cause after this comes speaking & living the Latin way without excuses! Oh Lord give me You!
I am so amazed when I see scripture come alive... and why should I be! But I so am..... every time! We read over and over again how God will provide for us and that we do not need to worry about tomorrow and what we will wear and what we will EAT! How true is this! Yesterday as we tried to get life into order and didn't have any food in the house for any meal. We were greeted by our Costa Rican neighbor with tamales for breakfast! How wonderful! Then we headed to see some other Costa Rican friends and without expecting it we recieved dinner! I just can't get over how AMAZING GOD is and how He even thinks of the little things!

PRAISE HIM!
