We're beginning to wind down our time here in Costa Rica. We've been making plans for what we will need to sell, checking into flights to the DR, and even already had to say goodbye to some of our best friends here who had to leave early. We have around 7 weeks left until we head to the D.R. On one hand we're looking forward to getting to the DR to begin our work there, but on the other hand we'll miss Costa Rica and the people we've come to know here. We've heard several times that the missionary life sometimes seems like a lifetime of goodbyes. We're beginning to realize that now, but it's worth it to have to say goodbye to our friends and family temporarily so that others may have the chance to have the hope and peace of knowing Jesus and spending eternity in heaven with their families. We cherish your prayers and support and hope that you'll pray for us and the people of the Dominican Republic as we get ready to begin our ministry there and end our time here in Costa Rica. We will probably be flying out on the 24th of April. Please specifically pray for our ministries here that we can share the Gospel clearly and please begin praying now for our transition to the Dominican Republic (for our housing there, dealing with cultural shock and dealing with the heat).
Here are some pics of the family and some fun things we've done the last month or so. We were blessed to have Kerri's parents come for a couple of weeks and do a little bit of traveling with us. God Bless.
