We are helping Pastor Carlos make a new sink for the kid's classrooms. Carter and some other people helped to mix and lay concrete, level the space, put the roof on, and place the sink!

We had an amazing time visiting 6 new families in Liberia. We heard amazing stories and we were also able to sing! We loved the time we spent with all these families, how welcoming they are, and how much love they put into things!

We learned about David and Goliath! Annie shared the story with all the kids about how David was brave because of God, and that made him able to defeat Goliath.

It rained, but nothing stopped us! While doing worship, it rained! But no kid moved, they all stayed to worship and praise God singing “Yo Tengo Tanto”
God moved here!

A very important part of our week is meal times, and more importantly, the cooks who prepare delicious food for us all week. They fed us with love and care and took care of each of us and gave us amazing meals all week long!

What a blessing to follow Mayah, Alayna and the team this week. It has been a blessing to me so i can only imagine the impact they had there in Costa Rica. It is a privilege to pray for our grand daughters and the youth at BIC. You are an amazing group of young people. Keep your eyes focused on Christ. Blessings to each of you.
