A Punny Papaya

The market lady used a little creativity to sell her papayas today. Although, in Costa Rica they do have what we Americans consider pumpkins, papayas would definately be a less expensive option for carving.

Trick or Treat

What do you expect in your trick-or-treat bag this year? We got brown sugar, pepperoni, and Advil!
So thankful for fellow Indiana missionary Rebecca Johnson's mom, Jeanine for sharing the love.

Que Dios lo Bendiga

The adventure continues in Costa Rica. Our family spent three productive years in Jamaica directing New Vision City of Refuge Children's Home and teaching at the Assemblies of God Bible College. But now, God has directed our steps to be missionaries in Mexico, reaching the orphans and the students there.

Currently, we are in San Jose, Costa Rica at CINCEL Language School, learning Spanish and engaging in cultural studies. Our children, Olivia, Wesley, and Sophia attend Sojourn Academy and are also learning Spanish. Much has happened in the brief six weeks we have been here; our Spanish is progressing nicely, our circle of friends has widened, and we are experiencing and appreciating yet another culture.

Often you will hear, "Que Dios lo bendiga" when parting company. It is an expression offering God's blessing upon your life. Although, our place of ministry has changed, the presence of God has not. He continually guides and directs us wherever we may be. Que Dios lo bendiga.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,

if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,

your right hand will hold me fast.

Psalm 139:9-10
