I found Violet and I share the same love for snacks. Our first stop was a wal mart to pickup supplies for our children and ourselves. After landing at the airport, and mistakenly not eating a healthy breakfast before our 5 hours of flight.
And while you can take the Americans out of America, it’s hard to take out the American. The country also experienced well-being higher than many richer nations and a per capita ecological footprint one-third the size of the United States.
Costa Rica’s has a very high life expectancy which is second highest in the America, and higher than the United States. The budget previously dedicated to the military is now dedicated to providing health care services and education. It permanently abolished its army in 1949, becoming one of only a few sovereign nations without a standing army. The majority of its country is a nationally protected rain forest. Hawthorne Lane Church Members and Friends,įirst of all, Costa Rica is an amazing country. And you can walk in a path with us in the future. I hope that we can chronicle our journey. Which may involve a couple much needed naps / floating in a pool. After a week of building a house in a rainforest (oh yeah – it’s raining all week!) we get to get some R&R at a lodge on the side of a volcano. We will be staying at the Iglesia Evangelica Metodista Centro Juan Wesley and our mission is to help build another house at a local Methodist orphanage. We will be in San Jose visiting churches, having a chance to visit with the sponser family and a chance to go to local markets this weekend. But our heart tells us to press forward anyway. We are completely blind to the journey we are on. But in about 3 hrs we enter a foreign country and a different world. At the moment, everyone speaks English and we understand what we need to do. We have no idea what will happen this week, how god will reach each of us and how our mission will impact the lives of the children in Costa Rica. Thank you to all the unsung heros who helped put this together.Īs first timers on a mission. Thank you to the church who made a donation to the mission in Costa Rica. Thank you to each of you who gave positive encouragement to Violet during her fundraising drive. Thank you to each of you who helped guide our church towards this important mission. I wanted to involve you into our journey into the unknown or abyss.įirst of all. I am not sure the process or the forum to communicate our mission trip to each of you and I hope you find some value with us sharing updates from our mission trip.
