Spiritual Emphasis Week – Take Two
Each semester our Spanish school here in Costa Rica sets one week aside as Spiritual Emphasis Week. Instead of our normal chapel service twice a week we have it nine times in five days. The school brings in a guest speaker to deliver all nine messages. Each chapel service is just like a 1 ½ hour church service. This is our second experience at Spiritual Emphasis Week and we are enjoying it.

They are missionaries to Dublin, Ireland, where less then 1% of the population are evangelical.

Erin is very active this week. She is playing piano during four of the nine chapel services. She is also volunteering at two of the five VBS events. Erin is doing a wonderful job on piano and is responsible for helping with crafts at the VBS.
