Day 3 is almost finished for Justin and me in C.R...in the last two days we have been to a church service in Palmares about an hour away in which I learned to drive amidst the loco Ticos (costa ricans), sat on the curb for an hour in a nice neighborhood near San Jose, and ate the Hamburger special at a roadside restaurant that gave us a taste of home.
Today we got moved into our new residence, in which we have posted a few pics. It is a little 2bedroom, 1 bath, living room and kitchen house with a sweet back tin-roofed patio. We flipped an envelope and Justin won the big bedroom with the double bed, the two windows, and the closet. I won the dark green room with dirty walls and the twin bed with no closet. On a serious note, the house is awesome and we're super grateful for it. Around 6 oclock tonight a lot of people from the church came over to check it out and the women ended up hanging curtains for us while Cesar enjoyed a PB & J and Dimas laid in my Mexican hammock. It was an uninvited, pleasant surprise for us. We'll try to post a video of the house tomorrow.
We are both excited that Dimas and his family seem excited that we are here. They have treated us with so much love and taken care of us. It is so nice to feel like we have a family outside of the US.
Got our first "W" on the futbol field...Justin had 2 goals...I laid the smack down with some great defense! (we had cezar on our team)

If you ever find yourself on America's Most Wanted, they will definitely use this pic.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you made it safely. Thanks for passing along the link to your blog...we will enjoy keeping up with how God uses you in Costa Rica.
ReplyDeleteGlad you boys made it safely. I like your green house. And, I think Justin must have weighted the envelope in the bedroom jurisdiction. :) He's sneaky like that. :)
ReplyDeleteHola mi sobrino con ojos azules! Estoy muy allegre saber tu esta alli sano y salvo. Su casa es muy dulce! Pudiere escuchar la lluvia bien sobre el techo de porche!
ReplyDeleteYo te amo mucho! Estoy tanto allegre para tu!

I love reading this blog!! And I'm SO glad yall got the house! I bet it will feel like home in no time...even with the dirty walls and no closet. I'm just not gonna think about that. And you've even already had company! It makes me happy to envision you sitting on the curb eating a hamburger! (Another thing I won't think about is you driving with the loco ticos!) I love you sooo much!! Gma says hey!
ReplyDeleteBe honest. What did that hamburger REALLY taste like??? Was it up to U.L.'s standards?
ReplyDeletePor favor, no conduces con los loco ticos. Conduces donde las abuelitas pequena van.
Where are you going to put all your clothes? Sobre el suelo?
Yo te amo!!
