Together Again



Hello All,
We are excited to be all together once again as David has now joined us in Costa Rica. We have been here a little over a week and are beginning to feel adjusted to our home and surroundings. We have much to learn to be acclamated to the city and our new jobs, but we're excited to get started.

Which leads to the most recent change in our lives: our new positions as missionaries. David has been appointed as Coordinator for Youth and for Evangelism and Shelley will be assisting him in these two positions. We are excited to work together and Shelley is especially grateful for the change as the position in finances was completely new with much to learn and in addition not in an area of past experience. And so, we are thankful for God's leading in a new direction. God is good!

The kids are adjusting well and will begin school on Monday. They will ride a van to school along with the Buell girls, who by the way, have been great playmates for Kayley since our arrival. Above you can see the back of our new home with the girls posed while playing "spy games" with the 2 way radios.

The campus is as beautiful as we remember with trees, flowers and greenery. The temperatures here are a bit cooler than Guatemala, at least for now. It has been in the low 70s during the day. At night it is a bit cool but with an extra blanket it is fine. (Remember, there's no heat or air conditioning here). We remember well the chapel building (which you can see with the steeple in the photo above) as we helped to paint the chapel in 2003 when we visited here on a Work and Witness trip. It still looks good!

We are anticipating the arrival of our six crates which should arrive by the end of next week. We are praying for no problems in retrieving them from customs. We have been without "our" things for a year and it will be fun to remember what's inside those crates. Our house has 3 bedrooms upstairs and a guest bedroom downstairs so there is ample space for us all. Shelley especially is wanting to make this house a home by having our things dispersed throughout.

We appreciate greatly your continued prayers as we adjust to life here. God has been good in it all and has made a way for us, from fitting things into suitcases, to providing the nicest airport personnel ever, to planes being on time, to problemless immigration and customs ventures, to a beautiful home, to great new friends...the list is long to all our blessings these days. Count yours, I bet your list is long too!

God bless your week...See you next week with another update.

Dave & Shelley & kids!

Yea! You're there! I hadn't checked your blog for awhile! I was excited to read what you have going on! Hopefully your trip to Iowa/etc. for Christmas was great!! I'm sure it was! Also, I'm glad to hear that Shelley doesn't have to do that DREADED accounting (ha!). I mean - that's for crazy people, right?!! Youth and Evangelism --- wow - that's so you guys! Awesome!

Well - just wanted to say a quick HI! Enjoy those 70 degree days ... we brought the snow with us to the Pacific NW (it snowed almost 4 inches today ... hasn't done that since 1995, I guess....!)! Kids loved it - even Max!

Have a wonderful week!
Love from Heidi
