Mi Casa Away from Home

For those that have been asking here are a few photos from my new home in Atenas, Costa Rica. My family is great. This is their home that they have so graciously accepted me into. Life here is a little different as you may guess from the pictures below. Please continue to keep me in your prayers as I continue to adapt to my new surroundings and that my bond with my new family will continue to grow. Also, my fellow interns and I will be beginning language school on Monday. Please pray that this will be a very productive time and that we would all be able to acquire the language quickly. I am able to understand my family pretty well, but they speak almost zero English. It is very humbling when a five year old can speak better than you can!! We had a great day today on our first Saturday together. I was able to help wash the family car and play frisbee with my little brother until we got it stuck on the roof. We also played outside with the water hose while washing the car. My brother and sister had great fun spraying me and of course I got them back, but Dad had the last word and sprayed us all!! Its almost dinner time, so that is all for now!! Stay tuned! There will be many great adventures yet to come!!
