Finally Arrived!

Hey everyone! We didn’t have internet or anyway to communicate the first couple days in Costa Rica, so I just wrote on Microsoft Word and copy pasted. Its really hard to connect to the internet, but I'll try to keep updated :)
January 21-We were picked up by Pastor Phil’s wife, Rebecca, and another lady named Brooke. We are staying in a small town called Villa Rreal. Almost no one speaks English. However, Tamarindo is about a 10 minute drive where there are a lot of tourist spots so more speak English there. They talked about how in Costa Rica they have periods of time (usually 1-2 months) of different insects. We just missed the 6” grasshoppers. Shucks. For the next month or two, we will be experiencing jumping brown spiders and just might make it for scorpion season. The funny thing is, is that they talk about it the way we talk about rabbits and squirrels in Montana. Except bunnies aren’t poisonous... I half expected them to say that they water turns into blood and every once in a while their first born die.


Sarah and I are staying in a small one-bedroom apartment. It’s pretty awesome, we are very thankful for it. The first 5 minutes we were in the apartment by ourselves we found 2 cockroaches. One we trapped under a cup and got it out. The other is still in here…somewhere… Anyways, we have a mini stove and fridge with a large sink to do laundry. We have running water, though it only is cold. I am blessed and so thankful to be here!
