Final week in Costa Rica

Where has the time gone? It felt like just yesterday I was arriving at training camp, seeing all the new faces of my teammates. Now we are down to the final days, excited to go home, but also sad to leave our new life-long friends. Going from strangers to family members in 3 months is crazy! We have all gotten so close that I can’t imagine a day without them. For the past 3 months I have seen my teammates 24/7. We have gone through so much, but have come out even stronger than before! In just a few days we will be going back to our old lives and back to where we stopped everything...

The power of prayer

  Sorry it has been so long since I have last wrote a blog! It has been nothing but crazy here, which is a good thing! On Tuesday the 15th was Independence Day here in Costa Rica! We began the day with ATLs (ask The Lord). After breakfast we began praying for what The Lord had to offer us on this blessed day. Everyone in the group got either some sort of message,word, or vision. I specifically got a vision of a man in a black shirt with white lines/words, sneakers, a hat, darker skinned, he has a scruffy face that made him sort of look homeless, a back pack on and he had a funny...

Praise the Lord!

Worship! Have you ever worshipped? I mean really worshipped? Not just standing in church service singing along to what ever song is playing. But really letting yourself hear the words and letting them sink in. Every time we worship you can just feel God in the room with us. The worship here is so different from anything I’ve ever experienced! Here everyone really just gives it all to God. Some people sing there hearts out, others dance, some just get down on there knees and pray. What would it look like if we didn’t care about what people think of us, or how we looked, or how we...

The deeper meaning

Coming up on a month together with these crazy people and through all the memories we have made I wanted to share one that stuck out to me. It’s about a house but the house has more meaning than just being a house, it’s a symbol and a lesson. The past days we’ve been working on a house as a team. A woman lives at the house who needs a kidney transplant, she didn’t know this until she found out she was pregnant. The doctors did an emergency c section which made the baby very sick. once the baby was able to come home physically, social services came to the house to...

The spark to the fire

Week #2 As the week began we were all excited but nervous at the same time. It was our first actual week in Costa Rica and God could have not done anything better! We helped in a bible store in downtown San Jose and then we also helped the gracious souls at WYAM. Even in the times that we didn’t see the point in in what we were doing or how it would help lead other in Christ, a girl in our group said, “Jesus would do this.” That was one of the strongest and most heartfelt sentences anyone could have ever said! Now every time I catch myself saying “this is...
