Ola from Costa Rica!

[Sherri]

I have a team of eleven here in Costa Rica this week, working on the Abraham Project. It's a church/orphanage/daycare/adult training center outside of San Jose. It's awesome - this is our third missions trip here since 2007. My daughter lived here as a volunteer for a year in 2005. The missionaries are so much fun (two couples) and the pastor of the church is a local guy. If anyone ever wants to do a missions trip that is a fairly easy one (emotionally), this is a great place to start. We actually have two ten year olds with us, a 13 year old (her third trip here) and a 17 year old besides ten adults.

We went to church this morning, and the praise and worship was tremendous, even though it's all in Spanish. They sang some of the same songs that we do. I could tell that the sermon was about marriage and family, but that's about all I got from it. LOL!

Tomorrow we will begin work on the Project - sheetrock, painting, etc. I will be sore, but it's worth it to know that you've helped out a few orphans and missionaries!
