From Ashley

This morning we got to sleep in a little bit, which was wonderful. It´s crazy how tired we all are, and it feels like we have been here for three months, not three days. For breakfast they serve biscuts and some fruit stuff every morning. I brought a box of Honey Bunches of Oats to enjoy. We headed off to Pastor Rudy´s church, which is about 40 minutes away from Hostel Toruma, where we are staying. It is mold really similar to Saddleback. We listend to the worship in the main service and then headed off to a classroom to teach a Daniel and the Lion´s den. The kids were ages four to six-ish. We told the story by acting it out with masks of the lions, the other men, king Darius, and Daniel himself. The kids were so so cute and wonerful. I led the craft, which was making lion masks like the ones we wore in the skit. It was really successful. It has been so cool to get to know an love everyone in my van group and work and grow with them. The people here are so nice and welcoming. After our VBS we drove to this awesome authentic Costa Rican place. It was our fist authentic mal here and we all loved it and ate so much. It was so delicious. Our time here has been challenging and tiring, but so great. I am so stoked for what is coming in the next few days! Thank you for your prayers! I love you very much and wish you could be here with me!
