Off to Costa Rica

Jeff and Paula are picking us up in 20 minutes and we're heading to the airport. We fly to Costa Rica this morning and will begin a 6-week intensive Spanish course on Monday, January 17. We're excited and nervous! We will be living with a host family so it will be total immersion--just what we need! We've been married almost 37 years and now we're going to move in with another family; Stephen probably won't get to touch the remote control! He's already worried about how he's going to be able to watch today's playoff games.

We're going to miss our Salvadoran "family" and they keep telling us not to fall in love with Costa Rica because they want us to come back. We assure them that our home is here in El Salvador so there's nothing to worry about!

We will be worshiping at our sister church, Vida Nueva Baptist, in San Jose. We were there on a mission trip in November so we will be among friends. Stephen is hoping to be able to play the piano for the services.

We don't know whether or not our "house" will have Internet, so please forgive me if my blog posts are few and far between. Please pray for us--it will be hard work! Thanks for your support and your prayers--they mean so much to us.
