Caminando con Dios

This past week has been one of the busiest weeks of our trip. We have begun working more in the clothing shops (las tiendas).

Tuesday we spent the day at the warehouse/shop making clothes racks and sorting clothes.

On Thursday we got up at 5:30 and left by 6:15 or so to head on a 2.5 hour trip to Puntarenas to open a new shop, which makes a total of 6 shops now! Puntarenas was an different type of place. It was much hotter, and the city itself looked older and not as developed as Alajuela. As we were pulling into the area where our shop was located, the oil pan underneath the truck busted while Cesar was driving over a big dip in the road. We parked the truck right outside the shop, took a look at the spill and began to collect jugs to catch the leaking oil. After we collected it all, we began unloading clothes, racks, and coat hangers from the truck. Once every item was in the store, we assembled the clothes racks and started hanging clothes. Henry and Cesar found a mechanic to repair the truck, and we left around 5:30.
We got back home late for church at 7:15 or so.

Last week Aaron was asked by Dimas to preach at the Thursday night church service, and he did so. He preached about our walk with God, and it went really well. I have videos, but they are too long to download on here. So a picture will have to do for this one.

Also this past Tuesday night we invited Cesar, Wendy, Rony, Mauricio, y Martita to eat at our house for supper. This was a ton of fun. Cesar is one of the funniest people i have ever met. Maui and Martita are super sweet, and it was a lot of fun cooking for them.

Today Mexico and Costa Rica played, which had a super bowl atmosphere. The front page of the newspaper yesterday had a Costa Rican player on it, and titled above was "We are going to war". Costa Rica just lost 3-0, and everyone is super bummed.
