Six of us are coming back next Saturday, so we won't miss two Sundays. The other 13 are coming back on Sunday and are getting a "fun" day on Saturday, which includes zip-lining over the top of the rain forest and visiting a volcano. We have one retired lady going who is going to do the zip-line; I'm not sure I'd have the guts to do it! I hate heights.

When we were there for vacation in 2006, we rode four wheelers through the rain forest - just the four of us in my family and a guide. It was awesome!! I like the rain forest from the ground - not sure about a cable over the top of it!

Zip-lining is a most incredible experience if you can make yourself get up there and jump off the gangplank. I did it one time. I thought I would completely freak out while I was up that high but once I finally made it to the plank that I jumped from, it was a feeling like nothing I've ever done before. I imagine parachuting would be that way.

We will also be ministering in the church there on Sunday and Wednesday nights and teaching an English class, as well as teaching in their large preschool. We will also get to do a feeding program for very poor children, which will be my favorite part!

I may be off here for a while, but I'll be thinking of you all!!

Hope you have a great trip Sherri. We'll be in Costa Rica from Oct. 12 - 16.

Sherri,

We are praying for a bounty of blessing to abide with you as you minister to these folks in CR. I venture to say you may come away more blessed than those you went to bless!

Just think... Costa Rica and you could have been in Marlow, OK Oct. 12 -14 for my weekend revival instead. I know you must be disappointed!

Ya'll have a great time in the Lord as well.

Well, we could definitely use you there!! We have one guy who speaks Spanish, but he's been in the U.S. all his life, even though he's Mexican. So he doesn't use the Spanish much. Ashley was going to go originally and then she ended up not getting to, so there went our interpreter!

Is yours a mission trip, or vacation?
