JUNE NEWS!

We have been here 12 weeks now and have only five more weeks of classes for this trimester! We are excited that we will be finishing the entire “one-year” program of Spanish in this first trimester. Because of this, Daniel and I will have the opportunity to take advanced classes in the next trimester. Most likely we will have a translation class (working on translating Spanish to English and vice-versa) and a language Bible class which will help us to learn Spanish vocabulary relating to the Bible, witnessing, other religions, etc.

Where are the months going? It is so hard to believe that we have been here in San Jose for close to two months! Our foremost feeling at this point is one of extreme gratitude for all those who have given to help us have the privilege of studying here at the Spanish Language Institute. Although some students complain and groan about homework and language study, Daniel and I are both what our teacher calls “Nerdos!” You guessed it— nerds! Supposedly in Costa Rican Spanish that carries the significance of one who really loves studying and learning. So, I guess it does apply since we are enjoying every minute of learning !

April passed by in a blur! The majority of the month was spent in sorting, selling, giving away and packing all of our earthly possessions. We were also able to spend some quality time with friends and family during the last two weeks that we were in the states.  We received all of the necessary paperwork, had the plane tickets, and packed four suitcases for Costa Rica! We thank God for the ways in which He provided for us to accomplish all of this.

Sovereign God,
Your cause, not my own, engages my heart,
and I appeal to you with greatest freedom
to set up your kingdom in every place where Satan reigns;

MARCH NEWS!

 Our “deputation” travels are now complete! We had two scheduled meetings for this month along with the two weeks at the ABWE Field Prep Seminar.  Our first meeting was a week-long missions conference held at Calvary Baptist in Dayton, TN. The church and its people were so kind and hospitable to us, providing us meals at the church for every lunch and supper! We enjoyed meeting these dear people and seeing their burden for missions. We experienced a bit of a scare on Thursday night of the conference when I suddenly had very sharp stomach pains. I was in such pain, Daniel rushed me to the ER. There we discovered, much to our relief, it was only a kidney stone! And when they told me the kidney stone can be as bad or worse than labor & delivery, I was very encouraged!
