God is doing some incredible things in my life while I am here. One thing he has done is shown me how much I truly love my wife and daughter. I have missed them so much. Today was a bitter sweet day as we had to say goodbye to our interpreter Wensece, and Pastor Francisco.  Both these men are true men of God and I could not help but shed some tears as we drove off.

AM- In Easley you can go to Lowes, get what you need, take it to the register and be out in a decent amount of time. Not so in Costa Rica, you tell the guy what you want, he goes and gets it and then you check out. This process should take a few minutes, however that is not the case. We have been to this hardware store twice, and each time it has taken around two hours. After the hardware store we went into the city of Cot. Here we were able to go into the home of Rita and Marcus. Brian and Keith shared how they came to Christ, and Faith shared with them the plan of Salvation bracelets. Rita assured us that Jesus lived in her life. I was then able to lead us in a word of prayer. Brian, Keith and I were then able to put Pastor Francisco’s bed together while Faith shared with another young man on the streets.

PM- Lunch at Burger King and is was awesome. Never been so happy to eat at Burger King. After lunch we went back to the orphanage to finish up some construction work. The kids were all out on an outing that was set up for them by the people who run it. We were able to build some more shelves for the laundry room and stain the ones we built the other day. We then headed to San Jose where we will spend the next two nights. Once we got there I found out that there was no Internet in the rooms.  I am writing this blog outside in the open air lobby listening to the workers have a good time inside. The talk in Spanish and then all of them just start laughing.  Wish I knew what they were saying. Supper was excellent once again, but we ate a whole lot more as we sat down for our devotion.  God has truly moved in each of our hearts, and has placed a desire for the nations in my heart that is stronger now than ever before.  My prayer is that the same desire will be there for the people in my neighborhood, city that I live in, and the state of South Carolina.

I don’t have time tonight to upload pictures of today, due to the fact that we are leaving for our free day at 6:30am in the morning.  Tomorrow night I will wrap up the trip.  Still not sure what my plans are exactly for next week as I will be in Florida for my grandmothers funeral.  Once things settle down I will be sharing specific stories and things God taught me on this trip.
