The Costa Rican Goodbye Tour Begins
We have been studying Spanish here in Costa Rica for nine months. The school we have been studying at attracts mostly Christian missionaries. In the time we have been here we have made friends with some very special people. In one month (June 25th) we are leaving for La Ceiba, Honduras. So it is time to start saying goodbye to some of the great friends we have met while here.
On Sunday we had Kelly Kim over for lunch after church. Kelly is a great Christian gal from Virginia. She has felt God pulling her towards international Christian service but, doesn’t know where. She decided to come here and learn Spanish while she is trying to figure it out. We attend the same Costa Rican church with Kelly and have served together teaching ESL classes and working with the kids in La Carpio.On Saturday we ate dinner at the home of the Wright family. Steve, Jamie and their three boys are serving as missionaries here in Costa Rica. Ironically, they lived 30 minutes from us in California, but, we first met them here in Costa Rica. We have enjoyed their friendship and humor.
On Friday we had dinner and played games with Bryan and Cheryl Newberry. Bryan is the Pastor of Calvary Chapel San Diego. They have taken a year to come here and study Spanish to better communicate with the large number of Spanish speakers in Southern California.
