PhotoHunt: Sad

I don't remember why Nathan was sad, but here he is letting dad comfort him. This was last December.

Photohunt: View

This is the recent view out of our stairwell window. The pictures are a little blury as this little guy was busy spinning his web. It was neat to see him in action!

The road in front of Juan Pablo. Juan Pablo is a small barrio in Alajuelita. A couple more shots of Juan Pablo below.

What do boys do with a jumprope? Tie each other up, of course!

I met this gentleman last year in Aurora. He is a very talented harmonica player.

Photohunt: Hanging

This last week we had 2 short-term mission teams and one local youth group HANGING out together, worshipping God. God's love can be an amazing bond.

Back in April we hiked, with some friends, to the first cross on the mountain.

Christopher, Nathan, Alix, and Seth.

This is Nathan, about 8 years ago. If only time could stand still. (sigh)

PhotoHunt: Candy

When I saw the theme this week was candy, I just had to take this opportunity to introduce my sweet friend, Candy. This is Candy and her husband, Duke. I have gotten to know her better this past year as they are spending their retirement years (half in CR, half in the States) serving in Costa Rica. She is fun to have around and a wonderful example to me on how to be a better mom, wife, and follower of Jesus. Love you, Candy!

Thirteen children (and 1 adult) playing basketball with the new goals set up by last week's Mission Team. Mason Community Church sent a team of children (and parents). While they were here, they put up new soccer and basketball goals, built a playground, and painted a mural at Los Filtros Elementary school. They also visited the senior center, the feeding center, and opened the Juan Pablo community center. It was 6:8 Ministries' first team of elementary aged children. You can read Spencer's thoughts on the 6:8 blog.

PhotoHunt: Glass

This is the little market where I buy my honey (in a glass bottle). It is 1,500 colones, which is about $3.00.

Notice the clouds?

Alajuelita, Costa Rica

PhotoHunt: Metal

Many of the houses in Costa Rica are made of tin. This one was taken in January of 2006, when Spencer and I came down to scout out moving here. This little boy reminded me of Nathan, who was also missing his front teeth at the time.
