Dedicated to journaling our work mission trip to Costa Rica sponsored by the Iowa Conference Volunteers in Mission of the United Methodist Church. A place for us to share our excitement, prayers, anticipation, and anything else God puts on our hearts.
Continue praying for the team, for the people with whom we will work, play and worship with in Costa Rica, safe travels and for those we leave at home. God goes before us and will walk with us!

Bible School

Bible School which consisted of puppets, singing, Bible lesson, crafts and recreation took place today for approximately 20 children from the ages of preschool through 13 during the afternoon. More will attend each day. We had an interpreter which was a high school girl with a heart of gold. We could not have done what we did without her. Real connections were made with these dear children who are in the orphanage due to abuse and neglect.
Hello Marlene! We missed you.

Your blog is wonderful. We feel like we are a part of the trip just by reading what is posted and the pictures are wonderful. We do wish we could have gone but we have moved on as that was not possible. I am doing fine. All tests came back with everything is fine. May never know what caused the problem but thank God everyday that there is no serious problem. Thank you for your prayers and you are in our prayers daily. Look forward to some Bible School pictures. Hope they have fun with the beads. Marlene
