Mis Aventuras

Visitantes!

I had visitors this week! On Thursday Lyssa and Jonathan (my newly married sister and brother- in- law, for those of you who don't know) came to see me! I did have to run a block up a hill in the rain to hail down their taxi, but it was so good to see them. We had some authentic Costa Rican cuisine and fun times.

School finished up well this week...I started officially teaching on Thursday and it went great! I am excited to be in a classroom again and my little kiddies are so precious. There is always something/someone to laugh at (and usually someone to discipline) so they keep me busy.

Tricia and I had a spontaneous adventure today! Kate left us for the weekend so we were the lame ones stuck at home planning. We started the day going to the Feria. There is nothing better than starting a Saturday morning buying fresh avocados and raspberries at the market. Yum! Then on the way to the grocery store we spied the top of a Catholic church so we decided to try and find it because it looked pretty. After a long walk we made it to a beautiful Catholic church right next to a little park with a large fountain. There was a small fundraiser/awareness performance going on with music and dancing so we stopped to check it out and ended up talking with a Costa Rican missionary who is looking for people to help with youth ministry! We gave her our names and email address and are hoping to hear from her soon...we were just talking this morning about wanting to get involved in something like that. God works so quickly sometimes! :)

On another note...we are becoming amazing chefs over here. This evening we made the best rice concoction yet, guacemole, and some fried platanos with sugar. Amazing...
