Pura Vida - Day 3

Dancing at the school...






































Today was another great day of work, fun, and laughter living out the motto of Costa Rica, "Pura Vida," (pure life). Last night we took some salsa dance lessons from one of the construction workers, Wilmer. It was definitely a full day and everyone was ready for bed after working, playing soccer (futbol), and dancing.

Work began this morning with the sun shining and everyone eager to continue the retaining walls we worked on at the church sight and the park sight. (At the church we are working on building a classroom and cafeteria for a feeding program and at the park sight we are helping build a playground and park for the community of Carrillos...all of these projects require massive retaining walls!) Students were challenged by the work and blessed by the Tican adults and children who thanked them for their efforts. After work we got to enjoy the chilly waters of a local pool and an adventurous water slide! Everyone is in bed now and I will be there soon too. Thank you for praying for us. We have been blessed with good weather, safety, and positive attitudes. Please pray that as the students bless others with their service, the Lord will challenge their hearts in exciting ways.

Looking forward to another great day. ~Cici
