We're alive... really!

Whenever things are quiet here on the blog, it's a good guess that life for us here in Costa Rica is anything BUT quiet!  The past couple of months since our last posts have been busy, full ones... filled with really good things, some hard things, and some much-needed lessons.  We took a whirlwind trip to the States to see our families, said good-bye to last term's group of interns, welcomed a new group of interns, and experienced the biggest earthquake Costa Rica has had in the last fifty years.  Dan and I have both been continuing to serve in the men's and women's ministries of our church, and I have had some neat new opportunities open up to share life and God's love with women in our neighborhood.  Our car was in the shop for over two months and, through that, we got to experience what is normal life for many Costa Ricans as we walked, rode buses and took taxis every day.  We celebrated our eighth anniversary, and have continued to be amazed at God's blessings to us through our children.  Dan is in Panama this week leading a project team, and the kids and I are holding down the fort here in Atenas! 

Just wanted to write a quick post to acknowledge that we really are alive and well here in Costa Rica!  As always, we so appreciate prayers for our life and ministry supporting God's people in Latin America.  Thank you!
