His Love Will Never Fail!

Enjoying a girls afternoon!

Dear Friends,

One year ago, this month, I left the states to be a missionary, a desire the Lord put in my heart a long time ago.  I left for Colombia, South America and a short time later, I moved to Costa Rica to study Spanish.  Living in Costa Rica is amazing.  From the sunny days and cool evenings to the people I meet and have the opportunity to pray with and share Christ with, I couldn't ask for anything better. And I am thankful to stay for a little while longer.  You read that correctly.  
I have been given the opportunity to continue to study Spanish (which I am so thankful for), build relationships and live life here sharing the Gospel until... the LORD knows!  Flexibility is the key... Proverbs 19:21 says, "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails." The LORD is directing my steps a little differently than I expected and  there are no complaints here, because HE knows best and I continue TRUST HIM as my guide.   
It's exciting to watch the Lord work in so many ways and to have such faithful supporters and prayer partners on this journey.  Your faithfulness in giving and prayers is a true blessing to me.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!


I have had many opportunities to take people downtown to the market.  Doing so, I have had opportunities to get to know some of the vendors, pray with them, and share the Love of Christ and encourage them.  Every time I go, I look for my friends, and check in with them, ask them how they are doing.  I really enjoy it.  This here, is Genesis. She is a beautiful young woman originally from Nicaragua, but has lived most of her life here in Costa Rica.  She gave me a cup the other day, "With Love to Mimi, from Genesis."  I look forward to many more visits with her.
 




























CaminoGlobal, formerly known as CAM international, started in Costa Rica and planted it's first church in San Jose in 1891 by Mr. and Mrs. William McConnell.  I just visited this church.  To me, it was a blessing to have visited the first church CaminoGlobal planted 126 years ago and to see it alive and active in God's Word and supporting missionaries all over the globe.  God is faithful and His love never fails!   
PRAISE                                                        PRAYER
Faithful supporters                                        Continue to learn Spanish well

Always in HIS hands!!

The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does.   The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.  The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.   You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.   The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does.  The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.   He fulfils the desires o those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. Psalm 145:13b-19 I don't know about you, but I find great joy in reading the scriptures.  Over the past couple weeks I have really enjoyed the Psalms, the fact that there is so much depth to them and that many of them have spoken right to my heart.  The verses above, I read today.  I was sitting in El Bosque Parque reading and just soaking up all that the Lord has done in my life.   I am reminded that the Lord ...

The adventures of Mini-Pete and Pals!

Exploring, climbing, hiding, is what we, Mini-Pete, Charlie and Tiger enjoy doing.  We've had some great adventures...Before we begin...let me officially introduce ourselves. The yellow lab- that is me Mini-Pete,  Tiger is in the middle and Charlie is the German Shepherd The journey of Mini-Pete just began with me, years ago traveling by myself.  However a year ago, I was told you need a friend to travel with, so Charlie came on board.  Charlie and I both came from the same home- so it was nice to catch up after several years and it was very kind of Shelly to give us both to Kimia.   This is Kimia-an adventurous, fun and loving person. The fact that she takes two little dogs and tiger with her about every where she goes..tell you that she is young at heart . You see, Kimia is quite adventurous and we really enjoy traveling with her.  To be honest, you never really know what your getting into until you spend a lot of time with her...Once...
