Church, Kids, and Movie

Today we went to church in  Mexico de Upala and saw many people we met last year.  The pastor of the church introduced us to the congregation.  A group of us lead the children in song and worship.  The children were able to create bags with the 'Golden Rule' written on them in spanish, "Traten de a los demas como quieren que ellos los traten a ustedes."   The remainder of the day we were able to visit with the children and other members of the church.  We also went for a walk to see the progress of construction on the church we worked on last year.  We went back to the church to show the Jesus movie to the children of the church.  After the movie, we were able to play with them for a little while longer and then we departed for our Costa Rican home.  It was not easy to leave them after only being with them for a day, but their smiles and happiness of us being there will last a lifetime.  On the way home, we were able to see exciting wildlife creatures that we have been looking for...el mono!!! Tonight our devotion was on the beatitudes and how we see them in action while working with the Ticos.
