Constuction, Medical, Children, and Clothing

Today was a busy day. We had alot of different activities going on. We had people at the constuction site, working with children, helping Ticos find clothing, and solving medical problems.

On the construction site, the team continued to work on the tresses for the new church building.

With the children, we reviewed the story of Jonas and the Whale. The children got to color a whale and place their Jonas inside his belly. We also played many games with the children, played and unplanned. the children played with beach balls, the parachute, and soccer balls. These activities continued even if it was raining.

In our clothing distribution, we had lots of people show up to come gather clothes for their family. They were guided by a team member while picking out their clothing. The Ticos really enjoyed the personal treatment when our team would hold up the clothing to be sure it would fit.
The medical mission was definately needed at this time. The team saw over 60 people in only a few hours. The medical problems ranged from skin issues to possible appenditis. The most common illness were stomach problems and skin issues.

The team got to visit Nicaragua with the Pastor of the Church. At dinner time, we had hot dogs over and open fire. We also had a suprise party for Debbie Friday's birthday. We celebrated with a pinata filled with peanuts and candy (no flour this time) and a cake from a Costa Rican bakery. After dinner, Hailey led our devotion. Her message was about being open to hear your calling from God.
