The last few days have been pretty crazy here in Costa Rica. Friday was a very emotional draining day. We started the day by going to an old folks home in Heredia. It was a very different type of ministry than what we had been doing in the previous days. It was actually a lot of fun just to hang out with them and love on them. I danced with a lady in a competition and we came in 3rd place. Even though we got out, she still kept dancing which was really funny. It was cool to see a really practical way to serve God and I realized it was somethng I could do at home. Later in the afternoon we went to an orphinage for handicap children. This was one of the more emotional ministries we did all week. It was hard for me to see the older kids and adults there because here I am, about to go to college and start my real life, and for them everyday is a stuggle to live. Seeing this truly inspired me to live my life to the fullest and to use all of the talents God has given me for His kingdom. After the orphinage, we went to Pastor Arthur´s church and hung out with their youth ministry. It was fun to play soccer with them and just be kids.
On Saturday we got up early and went to the JHOLY theatre where we met up with Hector and his wife. They showed us a PowerPoint of their plan and mission for JHOLY. I was extremely suprised how strategized the whole program is and how much dedication is put in to the show. Some of the actors put us through some excersises that they do to get ready for the shows. They took these excerises really seriously which showed their passion for the JHOLY ministry. I was kind of bummed because we weren´t able to feed the homeless due to the heavy rain. After lunch, we went over to Pastor Rudy´s church and visited their Mother´s Day Hoedown. It was hilarious because we did some dancing and they had some of the moms model for everyone. That night we went back to the JHOLY theatre to see their prodection. It was amazing. I had know idea what it was going to be like but it exceeded any expectations that I had. It was awesome to see how they shared the love of Christ to packed theatre even though the show had nothing to do witha bile story or anything like that. That to me was one of the best parts of our trip because it was put on by students for students.
Now were leaving for Jaco tro work with some river kids in the slums which should be very intresting. Bye Mom I´ll see you in a few days.
