Last weekend we traveled as a family to Liberia, Costa Rica, a town about 4 hours northwest of San Jose on the PanAmerican highway. It was fun to spend time with the team from Chicago First Church of the Nazarene. The team has been working there all this week to begin the constrution on a second floor of the local church.
This church has been responsible in the last 2 years of planting 18 new missions/cell groups and Pastor Alvaro has been the church planter for the area. Pastor Alvaro has lived in the back rooms of the church for many years, and it is time he had better accommodations. So the plan is to put an addition on the back of the church so that the upstairs can be a small home for Alvaro, his wife, his son and his mother-in-law. It will be a huge blessing when it is finally finished.
Kayley manages to make a new friend wherever she goes. She met Silvia who is the daughter of one of the leaders of the church there. Silvia is 14 and attends a sister school to ICS, where Kayley attends. It was fun to listen to them visit, going back and forth between English and Spanish.
We are looking forward to the Chicago team arriving here to the Seminary tomorrow (Saturday) for a one night stay before heading home. What a blessing they (and all teams) are to the leaders here.
David traveled to the Tjai Cabecar region to visit a mission there. It is always a long trip, sometimes crossing rivers by foot, but this time the river was too high and they had to divert to a different village. But a good time was had by all and David will share more about that next week.
We are looking forward to a nice Thanksgiving get away. Turkeys cost too much here to buy ($50 or $60) so a complete Thanksgiving meal is out of the question, so we will travel to the beach for a couple of days instead to enjoy the sun and surf.
Have a great Thanksgiving . We are all very blessed.
The Webb Family
