This week has been full of traveling and adventures. We started off visiting the local church in Poas last Sunday morning. The church was absolutely full and no one sat together as there were only seats here and there. After the service we visited a nearby town called Sarchi which is known for making wood furniture. Rocking chairs, beds, and about everything you can think of. It is also the home of the largest oxcart in Costa Rica. The oxcart is the national symbol of Costa Rica and this one was BIG as you can see below.
After working for three days, we were ready for a great Thanksgiving. We spent the day with a Methodist missionary family here in Costa Rica. It was a wonderful day with too much food. We didn't even eat supper and hardly any lunch the next day. WOW!
On Friday we surprised the kids with a day at the amusement park. Parque de Diversiones is about 45 minutes away (well, an hour the way we went!) but after the long way around we finally arrived and had a great time. Here's proof of the fun...
On Saturday we attended a special Pastors and families event in Costa Rica North. It was especially fun for me (Shelley) to see all the children in the child sponsorship program after reading their names each month. Kayley and Joshua joined in the games, ate fruit and gained some candy from the pinata.
On Sunday David left early for Ciudad Quesada to lead a church planter training event. It was a great success with 5 new church planters trained. They will begin their new cell groups within the next month or so. It will wonderful to watch their groups grow and learn.
Things will be crazy between now and mid December when we leave for Christmas in the USA. David will be gone 15 days between now and then, yes, that's almost the entire time, except for the 4 days I (Shelley) will be gone to North Nicaragua. You can pray that we'll be safe and well in our travels and not too tired with all there is to do. In the meantime the kids have finals coming up so there is some extra studying going on around here.
Thanks for thinking of checking our blog! We love you all,
The Webb Family
