Mission: Accomplished

On Sunday night of last week we got back to San José. Last night was DTS graduation. We made it!

On outreach we touched and blessed every province of Costa Rica in some special way. We continually went to be a blessing but ended up being blessed so much more. God is incredible. He did so much. He gave us opportunities to share with so many people about Him and His desire to have a loving relationship with them. God used incredible ministry, divine appointments, rain water showers, open hearts, delicious food, lovely people, passionate churches, the beautiful scenery of Costa Rica and many other surprises to bless us.

Thank you, God for these incredible 2 months of outreach!

Tomorrow I journey back to America land! So crazy that my time in YWAM San José is done for now. God has done so much in my life here over the past two years, and now it's time to share about it in the States. 

Look out America, here I come!

The big news!

I just wanted to send you a quick update to keep you in the loop with what's going on in my life right now. 

I'm currently in a beach town called Jacó, in Costa Rica. I'm co-leading an outreach team of 12 students with 3 other leaders. We're in our 3rd week of outreach and expecting God to do some pretty incredible things! In the previous weeks of outreach we were in the Central Valley and Caribbean areas of the Country. God stretched the students out of their comfort zones, were used by God in ways they hadn't been before. One of those weeks I was helping in the kitchen by planning and preparing every meal! It was a lot of work, but also really fun. Each one of us is being stretched in different ways! Please continue to pray for us! 

Also, I wanted to share with you what I'm planning on doing when the DTS ends. God has been leading me to move back to the States for a couple of years to pursue formal medical training. I want to be equipped to not only meet people's spiritual needs, but also help with their physical needs. It's going to be hard, but totally worth it. I want to use the next couple of years to really pour into my family, my church and my community while I'm studying. So please pray for me to be content with where I'm at and keep God's perspective.

And we're off!

Lecture phase has officially closed. 

Onward to outreach!! 

We begin our adventure with NIKO jungle survivor camp. Then the very first week after NIKO we'll hit up the provinces of San José, Heredia and Cartago. The week after that we'll be in Limon (on the Caribbean side) and Puntarenas (on the Pacific side). We'll stay in Puntarenas for about two weeks, but still be doing lots of traveling within the province. Then we'll make our way to Guanacaste and do some Bible Distribution with YWAM Nicoya. From there we'll head to Alejuela to finish up the outreach. WOO! 

We'll be all over the place, please keep us in your prayers! After outreach we'll come back to the base for a time of debrief and feedback and finish the DTS with a lovely graduation dinner on November 17th. 

I'm going to try to be back in the States by Thanksgiving, we'll see if it works out. 

Pura Vida!!!
