Today we got up (all of us being refreshed by the air conditioning!) and ate breakfast. I got to sit with our mascot Jubal and his family. Then we all listened to Jose’s testimony. Testimonys aren’t always easy to share but they allow us to grow closer to one another. So I feel like I know Jose more than I did before. Isn’t our God amazing!!? He pursues each one of us in a unique and special way. I love that. Anyway, I won’t go into all of Jose’s testimony, but what really stuck out to me was how he trusted God to be his all. God spoke to me about several areas in my life but one of the lessons he taught me is that God IS Sufficient. I don’t need anything else. I knew this but I haven’t been putting it into practice. We prayed and swam and then it was time to go. It was always an adventure driving on this trip! But this time it went pretty smooth. Of course I’m used to high speeds and I sorta liked just trusting Jose to get us there… in one piece. I have to say driving in the car turned out to be one of the high points of the trip for me, it was during those times I really got to know the people on the missions team. And let me tell you there were 17 really neat and gifted people on that trip!! It was fun!When we got to our Hotel and checked in it was time to go to Fresas and meet Jose’s family and Edwardo. Jose was getting more impatient the closer we got it seemed. But I thought it was sweet and also really understandable. haha! It was sort of awkward because we didn’t all get to talk to Edwardo. But as always Jubal was our ice breaker. I’m so glad he went with us! After we ate some of the mountains of food we ordered we went to Walmart. And we bought lots of coffee and dulce de leche. Unfortunately they didn’t have Costa Rican T-shirts, but we found them at the airport later. Full day huh?
