RE:Costa Rica - Day Seven (Team Blog)

This trip has been LOTS of firsts for me. My first missions trip, first time in a plane, first time out of the country, and first time being around hundreds of people who wouldn't understand me no matter how much I talked. Because it was my first time for many things I had to rely on the Lord for everything. I had NO idea what to expect and I was nervous. The Lord has showed me more and more that relying on him brings the best outcome in all circumstances. I really can't describe all the Lord has done for me on this trip, and its definitely not something that I can write in a simple blog. So that's all I can say about me.

Through my time here it has become clear that the Lord is working in the lives of the people in Costa Rica. One little 14 year old girl lived in an extremely poor family. They lived on approximately $6 dollars a month. The girl shared with the group how one day she wished to become a missionary. That little girl seemed to have nothing and yet she was so rich in faith that she was able to praise God and was willing to dedicate her life for the lord.

Ok well my blogging time is over others are waiting. I hope i was able to give you even the SLIGHTEST taste of what its been like here. It has been AMAZING!

Wowsers, This trip is making me really come out of my comfort zone, for instance, me blogging is me really stepping out. No but seriously, this trip has opened my eyes to so much that I have heard about from others but never witnessed till now. I think as the days have gone by, our group continues to be stretched with what we see in the country side and what we have learned from God.

For me personally, one of the hardest things was to walk the streets and hand tracks out. You may think this is a simple task but when someone rejects a track or tears one up right in front of you, it's pretty hard. The language barrier didn't help any at all either during this time.

My blogging time is coming to an end mostly because it's almost time for the dogs to be released here. There are dogs that guard the property, and everyone on staff says that the dogs like to chew white people..so that means I should go to my room.

Thank you for everyone back at home who is praying for us here!
