Our House in Costa Rica

I promised some pics so here they are! I can only post a few. So when we really get there we will be sure to post some more pictures. This is the front of our house complete with a guard shack right out front. We are not sure if this is really used or not but we will find out soon enough. Next is our back patio complete with the washer and dryer. The girls will also be able to play outside and stay dry under the covered part. Third, is a picture of our front yard complete with my Palm Tree! Okay it is only 3 feet tall but beggars can't be choosers right?

We are getting ready to fly back in a few days so the next post you see will be from Independence. Yahoo! Thank you to all who prayed us through these past two months. What a successful time we have had here and definitely feel more prepared to do the work God has called us to do.

Easter Sunday

March-Easter

What a wonderful Resurrection Day we had. It was very similar to what we do at home. We got up and had Easter baskets, had breakfast, went to Sunday service (in our quad), had lunch and then boxed up leftovers for our dinner, took a nap, had an Easter egg hunt, and then to Cultural Worship Service we went.

The day before I helped pulloff a surprise baby shower for our quad mates, Ted and Kerri who is due in July with twin girls. We had a blast and she didn't have a clue. I was so happy we could bless them in this way.

Stay tuned to see pics of our house in Costa Rica in the next entry.

A real life Visitor

We had the privilege of having Aaron's younger brother Adam come visit us this weekend. He is in Master's Commission in Columbia, South Carolina. So we put him on a bus and in a hotel for the weekend. While he was here we were able to go swimming in the hotel's indoor pool Saturday morning. The girls loved it. We also had a couple of days in the 70's this past week so I took some pics outside at the playground of the girls, in which you can see when you click on the following link below.

We have a very busy next two weeks. Here is a typical schedule that we follow on a daily basis except the weekend.

7am-8am Breakfast (usually in our room)
8am-8:40am Group Talk(Mon.) or Small Group Worship(Tues.-Fri.)
9am-12pm Lectures and Workshops
12pm-1pm Lunch in Cafe
1pm-5pm Lectures and Workshops
5pm-6pm Dinner
6pm-8pm Play time with kiddos and then to bed

This is the first week we will have to go until 5pm. The last 6 weeks we have gotten out at 3pm and then if it is nice we would usually go to the park with the girls. We also have had assignments outside of our daily schedule. They keep us pretty busy here! Only 2 and a half weeks left!

Washington DC

What a day we had in Washington DC! We were blessed with beautiful weather and safety. We learned that Latin American people will give you any answer, except the word no. We asked 3 people for directions to a restaurant and they told us where it was like they really knew. We went to where we were told with no restaurant in sight. They don't want to disappoint us with a no. We ended our trip on a bus ride back with a screaming Evie. We were all very tired and done with the trip by that time. When we we returned we were informed there was a tornado watch out. But we didn't think much of it. We got back and all went to bed to be awoken at 11:30 by what we thought to be a tornado. It sounded so much like it that we grabbed the girls out of their beds and ran to the bathroom. We were only there for a couple minutes but it was the most scariest time we have ever experienced. Thank you Lord for keeping us safe!

Below is a link to more pics of Washington DC. There are a few pics of Evie and Mylee that were taken at a dinner we went to at our Regional Leader's home. Have fun checking them out.

A Visitor

On Wednesday Mylee came home with a friend that goes by the name of Jeremiah, the pig. So for one night we were supposed to include Jeremiah in everything that we did. So because he was a guest we decided to treat him to a great meal of delivered Dominoes pizza! We then took a walk to the cafe with him on the beautiful evening. We also changed his clothes multiple times and Evie was able to rock him and shush him to sleep. Mylee tucked him in bed and I would hate to sleep with her seeing how she treats her guests in the middle of the night. Click on the pictures below to see all of our fun times with Jeremiah the pig.
