Three Weeks in the USA!

Hello to Everyone!

Well, we are now back in Costa Rica after a 3 week visit to churches in the States.  Here are some highlights from the past three weeks:

1.  Kayley passed her permit test and learned to drive (kinda).  

2.  Joshua passed his driver’s license exam and driving test.  Yes, he is a good driver.

3.  We visited 3 churches in Iowa (Monticello, Centerville and Des Moines Southside) and spoke to two different Bible Study groups.  Then onto Ohio (New Life Church of the Nazarene in Mount Vernon) and finally Naperville, Illinois.  A whirlwind tour!

4.  Joshua celebrated his 18^th birthday.

5.  We traveled to Mount Vernon, Ohio to leave Joshua off for this freshman year at MVNU.

6. David went to an Iowa State football game in Ames and traveled 10 hours by car to do so.

7.  We safely returned to Costa Rica this week.

8.  We were promptly greeted by the 2^nd strongest earthquake Costa Rica has ever experienced:  7.9 located in Nicoya on the Pacific coast. 

Today David has gone with some other missionaries to help one of the local pastors.  A retaining wall fell onto a small house and 3 truckloads of dirt fell on the side of the house.  Lots of digging!  The boys will come home sweaty after their hard day of work.

Shelley is looking forward to a great day of playing tour guide tomorrow for a group of 11 doctoral students and their professor.  We are praying for clear skies in the morning after an all night rain.  

Thanks for all your prayers and support.  God bless you all!
