Hola Familia de Christ Presbyterian:
Your missionaries arrived safely in San Jose at midday today and are now in Puntarenas at the hotel. Today went very well, on the whole. We did have a late start out of Tallahassee with a mechanical malfunction that kept us at the gate for awhile. But we made it fine to Atlanta where we met up with the missionaries from the GA churches. It was good seeing the Burkhalters again. God was definitely with us today in San Jose where we were wisked through baggage checkout without having to have our bags opened. Nuestro amigo y hermano en Jesucristo, Ricardo collected us at the San Jose airport and has ferried us to Puntarenas. Costa Rica is a beautiful country.
Our group is a wonderful mix of young and um..not so young and experienced and inexperienced. Many of us have been on a Carpenters Footstep’s mission but on different trips, others this a first time experience. So with God’s help we are building a new team, with experience and energy. We have much to do in Fray Casiano. Tomorrow morning we will be heading to church there to share worship. We cannot wait to gather together with music and praise.
Continue to pray for us. More blogs will be forthcoming from Corinne, Merlin, Eryn and maybe we can find a few others.
PS: Yes, that is Efren with the Transformers backpack.
John
