Costa Rica for 12 days!

First, I just want to thank all of you for praying for us and, specifically for our safety. Every day of driving here brings one near-miss after another, and I am constantly reminded that your prayers are making a difference in our lives.

This afternoon we are flying to Costa Rica to meet up with two teams--one from Houston and one from California. It's always a joy to go back to Costa Rica where we have so many great friends. We will worship at Iglesia Bautista Vida Nueva, San Jose, tomorrow morning and have the pleasure of hearing Rodolfo preach. I wish you all knew him . . . . he's a great man of God with a great sense of humor! We love his whole family--wife, Rocio, daughter, Natalia and son-in-law, Roger!

We will be sharing in schools during the day and in neighborhoods during the evening. We had a great campaign with much fruit when we were there in November. We're praying that hearts will be open to receive the gospel this week, as well.

The teams will leave on Saturday, but we are staying over several days to visit with the Chinchilla's, the family we stayed with when we were in language school. We're excited to have the opportunity to worship at their church on Sunday, March 11.

We fly back to El Salvador on Tuesday, March 13. Please pray that the students at New Life will work hard for their substitute while we are gone. They weren't very happy that we were going to miss 6 days of school.

Again, thanks for your prayers . . . . keep lifting us up!
