Costa Rica here we come!

So, I know this may sound completely crazy, but I just realized that YES...I am Costa Rican!! I took a good look at my birth certificate and noticed my mother was born there, which of course makes me Costa Rican too. Most of you would know these things. I guess I am slow when it comes to things like that. Mostly though, I am sure it is my mother being gone for so long. How would I know for sure? I mean really!! How many people sit and look at their birth certificates anyway?? O.K. enough with that.

My Church is planning a mission trip there in the fall. I have always wanted to visit there and knew that someday I would. It is an absolutely beautiful country with the most breathtaking views I have seen (in pictures). However, it is also a poor country with so many that are suffering. That is where I...and my little man will lend a hand. I think it is a PERFECT opportunity for him to see firsthand the importance of service to others. He has lead a somewhat sheltered life until now. Not anymore :-)! Even at 6 years old, he can appreciate the needs of others and this will allow him to stretch beyond his own comfort zone of giving. I am excited!

Lots to plan in the meantime, especially just the cost of the whole thing. Yet I know, God will provide as He always has. I am not worried. And, you all know that I am a big "saver" and very "resourceful". We will be fine! My prayer warriors out there can certainly keep this in their prayers though. Blessings to all till next time!
