Youth Group Trip to Costa Rica!


Today, the first day of our time here in Costa Rica, we worked hard, met many unique people and ate nothing but beans and rice (which is quickly becoming my least favorite food). This is actually my first time out of the country. Costa Rica has been very different. Although I am loving my time here, I find myself wanting to spend time on Facebook, and catching up with friends. Hopefully this urge to connect with technology will pass. Today we did a lot of painting and mixing of concrete. The highlight of my day was when a couple of church parishioners and I took a short trip to the local store. We walked with many of the kids, most who were outgoing, however, some tended to stick to themselves. I met some kids who look to have a shaky past, but hopefully my time as well as my group’s time with these children will help them to find love in Christ and find love in friendship.
