Wow, It is hard to believe that I have been here for a month on Sunday. Life has been great in Costa Rica. There have been times when I didn’t know how I was going to survive in a home where the people only spoke Spanish, but I have made it thus far. I have had ups and downs, but through it all my relationship with God has grown immensely. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have been praying for me and sending me such encouraging emails. There are a lot of dangers in Costa Rica, but with your prayers and God’s protection and grace, I know I will be out of harm's way.
You are probably wondering what the pictures in my last blog are regarding. The first photo is a picture of what I eat for breakfast almost every morning. This main dish is very traditional in Costa Rica. It is called Gallo Pinto, which is basically black beans and rice. There is also cilantro, a type of red pepper, and onion that is mixed into the beans and rice. The second and third pictures are of me when I went on a field trip with my class to the La Paz waterfalls and a coffee plantation.
This week was full of homework and less eventful than other weeks, but I needed to catch up on some school work. I am going to post a few random pictures in this blog just to keep you updated. I am headed off to the pool now so - hasta luego!
