Hola!
The computers are very slow here in Samara, so I apologize for yet again, no photos! I had a great weekend, but had to say goodbye to my pals and keep going. We saw alot this weekend and I even felt like I was back home! Monteverde was our stop for the second night and the weather was very windy, wet, and cool. I had jeans and three layers on top! Not so now! Samara is HOT and HUMID, but the school is air-conditioned! I finally made it to la playa after class this evening and it was warm. I have yet to actually swim. Time seems so short here. Not especially busy, but more relaxed and an ïf I do if I don't" lifestyle. My neighbor from Vancouver, Leah, is joining me this Friday for more travel on the Pacific Coast. It will be nice to see a familiar face and see more of Costa Rica. It is beautiful here, but I can also say that about my home, especially Powers. (I know you Powersonians are so proud right now!) My Tica mom took me to a waterfall this morning and they were so excited, as was I, but (and I didn't tell them this) it didn't even compare to Coquille River Falls and swimming under the falls! My dear Grandpa always says, "We live in God's country down here." True Gramp, very true. Any how, my point is that everywhere there are beautiful places, but I am finding that searching out those places isn't necessary for being content. I asked myself, "what or where is it that you just love to be." I am realizing, it isn't a physical location, but quite honestly spiritual. I can be in Costa Rica or Vancouver or Powers and the most lovely place is being in connection with God, through Jesus. That is truth. It is satisfying for my soul. Thanks for your continuos prayers. I miss you all!
