DTS is over!

Hola! Today is graduation! The last day of DTS! I can’t believe how time has gone by so quickly. I will back track to the start of November and catch you up on what I have been up to. On November first we left San Jose to continue our outreach phase in the southern province of Costa Rica, Talamanca. Our team had already been to this area before while completing our NIKO. For the first week we stayed in a church in a small town named Margarita. While there we planned lead services and clean the local community. For one day we went to the big city, Bribri and helped out in Red Cross location. We ended the week by taking the day off and going to a beautiful beach on the Caribbean side. From there we went to the YWAM Talamanca base, in the town of Bambu. We lead church and then packed up again and went to for three days to a really remote town. To get there we had to drive an hour to get to the river location where we would get in canoes and go up stream for 45 minutes to then get in another bus (that drove through the river) to finally get there. While there we mostly did physical labour helping build a house for a school teacher. Our last day, back in Bambu, we helped make a fence for a community cow to live in. This past week was a YWAM conference hosted by our base, with over 300 people coming and the founder of YWAM, Loren Cummingham, was the lead speaker. It was a really excited time. God was really moving a lot. It was so awesome to be a part of. My job at the conference was to babysit the kids in the evening. I had such an awesome time, all together. It was a great way to end off my DTS experience. That brings us to today! Grad! It has been a great experience, I cant believe it’s over. But it is definitely time to go home! I miss home a lot. My flight to Toronto leaves on Monday around 2. Unfortunately I won’t arrive home until Tuesday morning after a night in Calgary. Please keep me in your prayers. Only 3 days and I will be home!
