Wow time flies!

Hey Wonderful People,
Sorry I am struggling to keep y'all updated on this blog. We have had limited Internet at Hotel El Bambu up in Puerto Viejo Sarapiqui. Emma, Matt, David, and I rode the bus out and met the teams that afternoon. Had a wonderful week with Team Austin Texas and Team Tennessee. Both were amazing groups, but I specifically worked with the folks from Austin. We worked on the "blue church" in Horquetas doing every part of foundation laying for Sunday school classrooms. We dug the trenches in what Roberto affectionately called "el swampo". Our amazing Tico friends and workers were Roberto and Eduardo. Wow, they are a blast! Abraham would occasionally come out to make sure we were staying on task. He was also pretty great! Santiago was our amazing bus driver this week. He has such a beautiful gentle spirit and heart that beats for God.
Some other highlights of this week: I got to cook with Pastora Ivania and her mom. It was truly a God-sent to work with them for the day. I learned a few tricks in the kitchen and got to walk down to the river nearby. What a gorgeous country. I wore rubber boots (as all good Tico workers do) but unfortunately the swampy water was so high that it came over the top of my boots. My socks ended up being a poop-looking color, even after washing them. Hope you don't have to eat dinner after reading my appetizing update.
Alli, Chris, and I drove back to San Jose today and Chris and I head back to the US to Virginia tomorrow morning bright and early for Jeff and Stacey's wedding. I can't believe it is here already! Please pray for safey during our travels!
¡Nos hablamos pronto! ¡Que Dios te bendiga!
:-D
