Day 3

Hola from Costa Rica! This morning we woke up around 7:00 and headed downstairs for a yummy breakfast. After we finished breakfast we hopped on the bus and drove up to the church for our second day of work. Today some of us were planting the garden, some were digging in order to create stairs out of dirt, and others were preparing for our afternoon with the kids. We had to stop our work a bit early due to a rainstorm. Around 1:00 we sat down for a nice lunch which was pizza. Then we got back on the bus and drove down to the other ministry site where we spent time with the kids. Today while we were with them we got to lead the VBS. Some of the activities we did with them were face painting, music, and games. We were able to put some of the Spanish we've learned over the years to use. Lastly we drove to a local restaurant to end our day with a delicious dinner!

I n our meeting today, June 5th, we are meeting in our groups to discuss what our plans are and if we have all the supplies we need. Our groups that we met in are crafts, story plan, group leaders, and our song planning group. We are also assigning more supplies for people to bring. Today we also had Mr. Woody give us a devotion on John 3: 22 which is, " After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized". We also discussed a system we call buddy system and how our buddy is responsible for us. We also had the opportunity to ask questions of the trip and also talked about how the trip was going to be laid out.  -Monday our departure for our flight is at six in the morning. Our school, Annapolis Area Christian School, is meeting at BWI at four fifteen, early in the morning. We go from Baltimore (BWI) to Florida to San Jose.

Day 4 experience

Hola, Hana Hoitt here telling you about my experience I had today. In the past few days we all  have helped with the church that we were with. Today I experienced the joy I had of actually working and helping the church. God has set a place in my heart where that church and where Costa Rica will always be. I worked today with Emma Mori with putting liquid cement around the church with covering holes around the trim. When they called us in for lunch, I was soo close of being done with the work so, I was determined to finish. All of the guys from the church asked me if I was sure that I didn't want lunch and wanted to finish. I of course said yes! After finishing the work I was happy and proud but also I wanted to help more. I want to bring more to the church and more to the people. When we got to the children's ministry I had asked Renate (the ministry leader)  how I can get into and be a apart of  Metro Ministries. The first day of working with the kids, I had met this gi...
