Thursday Update

Arrived early this morning, few of the students got any sleep on the plane. Most enjoyed the midnight meal and watched dome musical movie. Sequeira on the other hand slept LAX to SJO so as to stay awake on the all day drive to La Mona while the students either slept or fought it trying to take in all the new sights and sounds. Stopped on a bridge to peer over to see several massive crocodiles. Relaxing lunch of Subway sandwiches on Jack beach. Arrived in La Mona after dark to a warm welcome by our church family down here. Yummy tick supper (local food). Got everyone settled in with their Costa Rican families. Took a nice no hot water shower and am headed to bed. Will try to get some pictures tomorrow.

Toured the site after dropping the kids off. Feeling excited and ambitious. Going to attempt 3 projects while we are here! 1) flooring in the new classroom, 2) rust proof paint all the metal window and door stuff, and 3) install insulation in the ceiling of the old classroom! I think we can get all 3 done. Stoked!

Signing off for tonight. Love from all. Pura Vida!

The beginning of the Journey

The seniors will begin their journey today. They will be departing from PDX this evening and flying throughout the night to LAX and then to San Jose Costa Rica.  After arriving in Costa Rica and meeting with their Costa Rican contact they will enjoy breakfast at the Universidad Adventista de Centroamerica.  They will then drive all the way to La Mona where they will meet their host families and enjoy a much needed night of sleep.  Please keep them in your prayers.
