We made it up the mountain yesterday! The Lord is already up to amazing things in Alto Jabui. It is sweet to be back for many of us. The hike was hard, but we were prepared with our rubber boots, water bottles, and the motto "RESPECT THE FORREST!"

We've been busy making floors for pastor's house. Pastor and his work team did a lot of prep work to make sure it would be ready for us to bring our man power and get the home done for him. We are honored to be a part of this project. Pastor walks hours each week in order to do ministry here. We get to be involved in the making of his home, so that he and his family have a place of their own in Alto Jabui while they are pastoring this community.

All our stories have a before and an after, each one of them unique in their own way but there’s one detail we all share, we were all saved by the same person, saved by the same blood that was shed on the cross so that we could live, we all had our lives changed by Jesus.
Jesus is our Testimony.

Last day at Alto Jabui, we can’t believe the trip is almost over! So sad we have to leave but we’re so grateful that God allowed us to share one more time and we feel so privileged to be part of His plan for Alto Jabui! Before leaving Alto Jabui we made goodbye visits to pray and thank once again these people for their hospitality, their hard work and their love, God has blessed us so so much through them!

Finally delivered the water filters to the families from Alto Cohen! We couldn’t make it all the way up to Alto Cohen so we had to meet them on the way there but still had a great time, we got to talk with them and pray all together over the filters. They were very grateful and exited to have fresh water at home!

Before hiking back to Carbon we gathered all together to lift up our hand to the Lord and pray over Alto Jabui, pray for the church, the Pastor and the community! We know God will continue working in this place through this wonderful community so that many more souls would be saved. We were able to witness everything He has done there these two years, how strong these people’s faith and love for Jesus has become and we look forward to continue growing and sharing with them!

After a long week of hard work is time to relax! We went to Cahuita National Park, saw monkeys and sloths and of course the beach!! Enjoyed the water and had races (don’t be tricked by the picture, Jonny had the lead because he cheated!). Then we went to Puerto Viejo to have lunch, go shopping and walk by the beach! Now is time to go back and pack our things to head home!
