A trip like this is always hard to put into words, which is hard because it's always everyone's first question. This trip is hard to put into words because it is so filled with breath taking moments. The first breath taking moment is when you first arrive and can see the beauty of God's creation. In the beauty of the mountains, the green earth, even the way their communities are formed. You then see God every day, while interacting with the kids at your site. Seeing their pure joy and love over the simple things in life. You see God in the interactions between the Ticos and and Gringos, the communication that can happen even with a language barrier in place. And lastly, you see God in the growth of all of those who went on the trip. Watching them grow in their faith, watching them share their faith, and watching them find their faith. When people ask me how my trip was, I find it so hard to put into words. Not for any other reason then because watching God work in so many way is such a breath taking experience that words can't describe it. Costa Rica is filled with love and God's presence. Pura Vida. |
