Hola dear brothers and sisters in Christ! 

We have made it to language school (www.thespanishinstitute.com) in Costa Rica and are adjusting to life in the big city!  It is very encouraging to us to be reading the bible along with many of you.  From Matthew 5:3-5:4, "You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope.  With less of you, there is more of God and his rule.  You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you.  Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you."  The hardest thing for us at the moment is adjusting to city life.  We must go through 3 sets of locks and bars each time we go in/out of our house.  Traffic is crazy, streets difficult to walk on (especially with 3 kids!), loud noises, nasty smells, etc.  Overall though, we are learning to look for the blessings each day brings: (the kids enjoying their new rooms, the new cookies we've discovered, the wonderful teachers, time to reflect, time to be together, and the sunshine and flip flops on our feet!) Spanish language is going to be one of many reasons we are here! We'll work on so much more, i.e. patience, trust,etc!
Love, Mike and Kerry
