The girls have several “favorite” activities here in Costa Rica. Some of them are unique to living in another country.
For example, who needs a jungle gym when you have a gate as a front door?
Also, who needs drums when you have empty water jugs? They actually LOVE to play them, but unfortunately in the morning before school (around 7 am). Not so sure the neighbors love them too.
They also like their juice boxes, but we actually buy milk boxes. Yes, you can buy boxed milk (non-refrigerated) in many different sizes, flavors and types. Entire aisles in los supermarcados (grocery stores) are devoted to boxed milk.
What about Caleb? Well, he is still hanging out in his carseat (though we have a bouncy seat coming with a friend soon!). He continues to be gushed over in Español. “Que lindo!” (What cuteness!) “Gordito!” (little fatty- but used endearingly) “Delicioso!” (delicious) and the other day someone described (in Español) how they would wrap him up in a tortilla and eat him!
All in all, we are healthy, joyful and continuing to trust God’s call on our lives. Praise be to thee, O Christ! Thank you for your prayers, emails and comments. It encourages me so much and reminds me of the faithfulness of our Lord.
Brooke: Love your blog; love all the pictures and updates from you. Praying always for all of you and your team. The children look like they are having fun!!!! Praying for you & David as you learn the language and for all of your needs. Praying you have a restful weekend.

Love the pictures, keep them coming. i sent a a video for the girls...did it arrive?? As we pray for you, i hope you will pray for our church. it scares me the way young people think now days, and they believe it is normal and ok. Satan is alive and prowling in the US. Thoughts and prayers with you all. love, Aunt Debbie
