Friends from home

There is something special about having friends from our home country visit us here in Costa Rica.  For some reason it is encouraging to know someone from our old life knows a little about what our life here is like.  Today four people from our home church arrived and spent the afternoon and dinner with us in our home.  And the best part was having friends from there and here meet each other and get a chance to know each other.

Tomorrow we head out to San Carlos which will take us through the mountains and into pineapple and orange farm country.  We’ll be visiting some of our Costa Rican partners and have a chance to see the pastoral training they do here.
