Our season for groups has come to an end and what a great 6 months it has been! Our most recent group from IHBC of Charlotte, NC was 2 weeks with about 20 people serving in many ways in Santa Matilde. They fed children and families, repaired and built houses, had medical and dental clinics, held Baptisms, did manicures and pedicures, along with many other activities for children and families.
They left this past Friday morning and Linda actually got a flight with them to Texas to spend some time with her daughter, Trisha. The only other group we have is 5 girls with World Race who are spending the rest of August in the dental clinic out in Candelaria and helping us in so many ways. They are building relationships and hosting a bible study two mornings a week mostly for the youth. They are very independent and a true blessing to us for the month.
I am leaving Leon for Costa Rica early tomorrow morning because my 90 days are currently up and I need to border cross. I think that I am only going to stay for a night or 2 and return to keep things going with our growing youth group and catch-up things I have not had time for with all the back to back groups. I do plan to visit Costa Rica another time, as well as the other Central American countries for more extended time, but for the next couple days I think I will only be traveling just south of the border, to Liberia at furtherest.
