Last Work Day!

Today was our last day of work. We finished early as is the tradition and shared a wonderful lunch with Will & Ella. Tomorrow and Sunday will be travel days for everyone.

It has been an incredible two weeks!!

For those who have been following us on the blog, we have cooked, painted, applied stucco, tied re-bar and layed block. We have laughed, cried and shared each other's fellowship.

As we prepare to travel home, there are so many memories of our time here in Costa Rica, but most of all, it's the impact you can have on so many lives. The time spent with the children and working along side our Costa Rican friends will be lasting memories.


If you have ever considered going on a mission trip, a few final thoughts to share......
