¡Hola! It was a beautiful Sunday morning here in Costa Rica. We got to attend an amazing church service, where we witnessed the joy and happiness of believers from the surrounding community. Some of the students had the opportunity to attend Sunday school with the children, while others attended the almost 3 hour long service. In Sunday school, the kids colored and played Bible games. After church, we organized and set up all the donations which included the 47 bags we brought from Williamsburg. Once it was organized, the doors were opened for the Costa Ricans to come in and choose whatever they liked. It was beautiful to see the joy in everyone's faces as they found things that they needed. It looked like the kids were opening up presents on Christmas morning as they found new outfits and shoes. They were so grateful to everyone who donated!
After lunch, we divided into 4 groups to visit houses in La Radial, the same place where we had done our work projects earlier in the week. We saw kids we had been interacting with all week in their own homes, and it was an emotional experience as we talked to their families and prayed over them. Afterwards, we said our final goodbyes and headed back to our housing site. We enjoyed our last dinner with our hosts and also celebrated a birthday with cake (happy birthday, Sherrieff!). We finished off the night with our second-to-last porch time and some great time in small groups. Tomorrow, we are heading out to our debrief site in Jaco. We are excited to see more of Costa Rica!
