END OF LECTURE PHASE! START OF PHASE TWO: NIKO and OUTREACH!

Hola! Oh my gosh, lecture phase is over! I have already completed twelve weeks here in Costa Rica! This past week was a fun one! On Monday it was Central American Independence Day so we went downtown to watch parades and practice evangelising. It was so much fun! The whole San Jose showed up to watch the numerous parades. One of the coolest things was that almost all the kids under four were dressed up in typical Costa Rican outfits. On Tuesday we drive out to the bench to baptize people! It’s about a 3 hour drive and most of the drive is through the mountains! It was beautiful! It was really special witness the baptisms of 8 of my class mates. Some people were getting baptized for the first time and others were being re baptized. On Wednesday and Thursday we had our last days of class. Our topic was Unity in God. It was a really important topic for us as a team, especially being that we will soon be leaving for outreach! Today we had the day to pack up all of our stuff. Tomorrow we are leaving for a week in the bottom corner of Costa Rica where we will be camping in the rain forest (NIKO)! Before we leave tomorrow we have to be moved out of our rooms. There is a new school starting next week, that will be taking over our rooms! It feels weird to be moving out, this has been home for the past 3 months. On September 29, we will be leaving for Panama! Where we will be for the first month of outreach. From this point on I am not sure how often I will have access to the computer. I will try to write on my blog and keep everyone up to date. Please pray for me and my team as we go on NIKO and outreach.
