This is the 3rd and final update for the Carlsbad, CA team who was with us from August 5-17th. Their final day of hard labor was here in San Jose, Costa Rica. The team split into two groups and headed to two different local schools within walking distance. One was the school called San Blas, an elementary school and the other is called Salvador Umana, which is a high school.
The team performed the VBS 5 times this day at the elementary school to about 800 kids! They were troopers and even the 5th time they had the energy for the songs and actions as if it were the first. Check out this video to see what I mean!
Part of the team helped with to show the Jesus Film in a classroom. This doesn't happen too much in the goverment sponsored schools in Costa Rica, but God opened the door and we went through it! The kids enjoyed the movie and had lots of good questions afterwards. Many of the kids decided to follow Jesus and accept Him as Lord that day.
The other team cleaned and painted at the high school. Some of the national leaders cut some high grass that really needed a trim. These local school don’t receive a lot of assistance from the government to keep up the property, so this was a real blessing to them.
We enjoyed spending time with the Carlsbad team and are excited to visit them in CA in 2009 if everything works out. See you soon, guys!
In other news…we are leaving tomorrow (Friday) for meetings in Guatemala. It will be fun to see old friends and spend some time together. We will be interviewing on Saturday morning with the RAC council (Regional Advisory Council for the MAC Region) so we would appreciate your prayers. Kayley will go with us, but Joshua is enjoying a 3 day camp with his school, so we’ll catch up with him on Sunday evening.
Pray also for Monday when we go to immigration – one last time (we hope) to receive our documents for temporary residency. It has been more than a year to wait, and we’ll be glad that part of the process is over – at least for two years!
That’s it for now! Next week we’ll have some photos and information about David’s trip to Nicaragua and Ometepe Island.
God bless you all!
