Back from Jaco

We made it back in one piece from Jaco - and as much fun as the beach was - we are happy being in San Jose. I can go back to eating 2000 calories a day instead of feeling like I need to 'get my money's worth' of melted processed cheese on fries and nightly burgers. After reading the last blog post of Elizabeth, I wish I had brought my camera to the beach the final day we were there. Dead in the sand left over from high tide was the skeletal remains (with some minor decomposing still happening) of a blow fish. Instead of just letting lie, of course I carried it on a stone saying 'EVERYONE! Come look at this!!!' Christy was not even impressed enough to come look at it - she really missed out.

God was good to us on so many levels this week. We originally thought we had to wait until May 1st to move in to our new place. Then we found out last week that we would probably be able to get in about a week early. Today we found out we'll probably be able to get in on about Wed of this week which means we'll finally be able to unpack our bags and begin to get settled. All we need to do is pick up our van sometime early this week so we can drive down there. Also, we had Wheaton Bible Church commit to supporting us during our time down here which places us about at full support for our trip!

La Palabra is off tomorrow (it is a national holiday) which is good as it seems that all the missionary teachers down here could use one day to relax and catch up on the school work. The school hired a new Bible director to replace the one that quit unexpectedly last month - and it seems that he is doing very well. They are still short several English teachers, so we are praying that God will help fill those positions quickly to ease the burdens on the teachers that are here.

Thats about it for now. No funny stories today, but I'll work on it starting this week. We are going to try and get our drivers license for Costa Rica this week - If it is anything like it is in the states, I'm sure that will be a gold mine for blogging.
