We gathered this morning at 7am for devotions on faith and trust led by Bonnie and Carlos; breakfast of pancakes and scrambled eggs at 7:30, and on the bus by 8 am, heading off for the 30 minute ride to the work site.
Here is our Thursday bus. Yes, we have been here five days and have had four different buses. Rumor has it that tomorrow will bring yet another different bus....
Here we are loaded up and ready to go!
This morning, the six "first week only" team members had a chance to go to the children's home to see the progress made since our visit a year ago. The remaining team members will be working here next week, so we will keep pictures to a minimum.
In the meantime, please meet the lawn mowing crew!
Pastor Jorge and wife Jhudys at lunch while Lleadro patiently waits.
A beautiful composed salad prepared by Nancy. This team loves hearts of palm and avocado!
And Nancy tackles the endless stream of dishes that flow through this kitchen.
Pastor Jorge takes a break from the chancel floor work and takes a moment to get a little closer to God while installing new flashing. Wife Jhudys watches nervously just out of camera range!
After dinner, the usual crowd gathers for a friendly (?) card game while others read, pack, or work on laundry.
Although our team won't be complete until we are united with Donna and Jerry this weekend, we took an opportunity for a team photo this evening,
Good night to all from Costa Rica!
