It has been a catch up week here in Costa Rica for Shelley, but for David it has been a traveling week. David has been working with a former missionary, Mike Dennis, to give workshops in three districts of Nicaragua. Next week I am sure he will have an update for us.
We have many visitors to the seminary this week. First of all, there is a work and witness team here from South Carolina. They are working very hard (and quickly I might add) to help complete the Regional Office building. The missionaries from Guatemala will be moving here in January, so time is running out to finish up the work. They have been laying tile,
and putting up dry wall as well as painting the surrounding buildings, both inside and out, to make the missionary homes move in ready.
This team has been cooking for themselves instead of having food catered, so the most popular people on the team are their cooks!
There are also many visitors here for educational meetings taking place at the seminary. It has been fun to meet new friends and see some old ones as well.
If you have visited here before, you will notice some definite improvements to the Regional Office building. The front lot got tiled this week and the beautiful rock covered walls were completed. It is starting to come together and will really look like a finished product once the doors and windows are all in. We just lack a few on the main floor.
The kids are doing well this week, even though Kayley has had her fair share of homework. Her teacher took this picture during science class.
Joshua played in his first high school BB game this week and played about 8-10 minutes of the game (pretty good for a freshman!). Josh’s team lost by 1 point, but they played well and just need to work a little harder on those freethrows! There is another game tonight, so we’ll see what happens!
We are busy preparing for a Maximum Mission Team that arrives on October 1st. The team will work in an area called Dos Rios, located about ½ hour outside the city. We’re looking forward to meeting our new friends from Roseburg, Oregon.
Later in the month, another team from the USA arrives. The East Kentucky Team will be working in North Costa Rica, helping to plant new cell groups in the area surrounding Liberia.
Thanks for all your prayers during this busy month of October. Hasta Luego.
Until Next Week,
Shelley and Family
