The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with Joy!


We have had an amazing few days here, it almost feels surreal! To belive how quickly God has brought oppourtunities to us! We have only been here 3 weeks and we have seen God swing the doors open for us to love and serve Costa Rican's. Nathan has been building a friendship with two of our guards Fransisco and Elijandro. Elijandro's dad has been very sick and he asked Nathan to pray for him, so they did right on our street. Me and the girls went to work and begun earnestly praying for Elijandro and his family to know the true peace that we know from our relationship with Jesus. Next Nathan is invited to come meet Elijandro's Dad and to pray with him. So God definately had planned this appointment. Nathan (only 3 weeks of school) could completley understand him and speak to him! They completely conversed with ease and were able to understand eachother. Elijandro's dad invited Nathan to come back and share some more with him and maybe answer some questions for him. Now if you thought that this story couldn't get better hang on to your socks. We just found out that since yesterday when we all started praying for Elijandro's dad he is already feeling tremendously better! and Elijandro has informed us that he and his girlfriend and their son would like to come to church with us on Sunday.

The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy!!!!
