Well, we finally made it!!! We are in Costa Rica!
We are staying with 6:8 Ministries in Alajuelita, just outside of San Jose. We have been meeting people, ministering to children through crafts and prayer. We visited a family who has a severely disabled little boy with gifts for him and his 2 sisters from their American sponsors. They were all very excited.
We have been walking through the poorest, most disconcerting makeshift 2 room houses to visit people and to pray for them. The people who live here are the sweetest, most friendliest people I have ever met. They seem to be happy and content despite their needs and tragic circumstances. They live in extremely low living standards compared to even the poorest in the States. Although most have some electricity and running water, several do not even have indoor toilets. It is really an eye opener to make me question what it really takes to make people happy, (including myself), and what the true needs of the people are.
We are looking forward to doing more ministry in the city of San Jose, as well as seeing the beautiful city tomorrow.
