In Progress...

Day five seems almost over, but we still have a lot to do. Today we got to do some zip-lining around the rain forests of Costa Rica. Amazing.

This afternoon we purchased food for a homeless shelter and after dinner we will be preparing food and then helping distribute the food. If I were to try to put a finger on what God was trying to teach us this week I would guess that it is humility. It seems to be the reaccuring theme in what we have been discovering in our devotions as well as what has been coming up in our debriefings in the evenings as a group. There have been a lot of unexpected tasks that God has used to reinforce what we have been studying together in our evening devotions.

Let me again encourage you to pray for our bus driver from this past week. His name is Guillermo (William) and he doesn't know the Lord. There have been a lot of opportunities to talk with him, and seeds have been planted. Unfortunately I don't think we will see him after today. We have left him with ways to contact us as well as a team shirt, because we have really come to care about him. You can also be praying for the town of Los Guidos that we have been able to work in three of the days we have been here. We have done many different things there, working with a pastor and his church. While we were there yesterday, we had many opportunities to talk with people from that town about why we were there, again, seeds were being planted. Also, yesterday we were able to hand out over 800 tracks in a central market place in the capitol city. There were about 5 major converstations that our group was able to start with different peopel through that exercise, so please keep those planted seeds in prayer.

Besides that, there are various sicknesses and whatnot floating around. No one is down for the count, but a few are not feeling %100 on a daily basis.

We covet your prayers and support. I hope that you are recieving joy from our reports! God surely has been blessing...
