Home Sweet Home...6.5 months (Hogar dulce Hogar.....6.5 meses)

It's been awhile since I wrote, sorry about that!!  This last month and a half have been full with activities and visits.  I attended a women's conference here in Costa Rica and had a great time as well as spent some time in the States.  But I am getting ahead of myself ;)

A little over three weeks ago I attended a Women's conference here in Costa Rica.  It was a district women's retreat however a women from Nicaragua and a group from the Panama joined us. It was the first event like this in over 8 years and Praise The LORD there were about 120 women in attendance.  It was a great time to get to spend with friends that have become family!

Only a few of the missionaries on the Meso America Region

Worship band made up of women from across the Central District

The day after the conference, I made my way to the States for a visit and to speak at churches in Kansas and Wisconsin to update them on the ministry here in Costa Rica.  It was a great three weeks.  I got to spend three weeks with family and friends as well as meet new friends.  It was a complete gift to spend time with some of the people I dearly love and to share God's heart for the Nations with home churches. The Lord is working in lives and churches around the world!  Gracias a Dios (Thanks be to The LORD).

A baby shower for my nephew who should arrive in the next few weeks

Had the privilege of speaking at Central COTN in Coffeyville, KS.
It was the first time I preached with my parents and one set of grandparents in attendance!

I ended my three weeks in the States in Kansas City on Monday and traveled back to Costa Rica!  I have been here two days and I am SO GLAD to be back.  It has been fun to catch up with friends and I even had my first Spanish class today.  Life is getting back to "normal" if there is such a thing ;)  In all the places I have been in the last several weeks, each one of them have been home at one point in my life or another.  For the next 3 months I am back to Hogar dulce Hogar (Home Sweet Home) in Costa Rica and my heart could not be more full or content.  Gracias A Dios (Thanks be to The LORD) !!!
