We're Here!

Hey Everyone,
We're here, arrived safely in San Jose, Costa Rica. Kind of had a day of daze, recovering from the night and day of travel...had the morning off today to rest- had some Costa Rican coffee- and jumped in this afternoon.

The San Jose base is moving locations this week- they are moving to an old coffee mill, it has since been owned by a poshe art school. Its an awesome space but in need of a lot of repairs, work, cleaning, painting and renovation to house the classrooms and staff/students. Today Omar and Kevan worked on one of the houses that the base is moving from- disassembling a small house,patio structure to use at the new base. The rest of us painted at the new base and cleaned out storage containers that will house students and team to come in the future...let's just say the bathrooms were much to be desired!! The staff really appreciates our hands right now...
So, this will be most of our venture this week- the base needs a lot of work and everything has to be moved by Friday...

We will be posting on our blog future updates, so make sure to be checking from time to time.
Please pray for our team relationships, sometimes its easier on outreach to put team relationships on the back burner as you meet all these exciting new people.
Love you guys!
Omar, Alyssa and DTS (Daniel, Carilyns, Florence, Kevan and Camela)

Lili- please pass this on to Dupe...we're missing you Ms. Dupe!

Hey you guys! Great hearing about your first venture into International Outreach. Praying for you and your team, and just as you said, relationships can sometimes fall to the side while on outreach and then it gets hard on the team unity! God wants to use you guys in such special ways and wants to show you the depths of His heart for the Costa Rica nation! Let it shine! LOVE YOU!!
