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!

Habitat House

This is not a habitat house, but it is being built for a very deserving family who help as much as possible. Right now a shed is being build to house the materials where the parents will also sleep to protect the items. Otherwise, everything including the bent, saved nails would be stolen. The house will cost around $8000. The group finished tearing down the old property and did manual labor by leveling the area with wheelbarrows and shovels. They walked at least a quarter of a mile into the site carrying all of their tools. A sunburned group but so excited over what they had accomplished and will continue all week.
