HI! Just wanted to post that we'll be away from the computer for awhile. We are heading to Nicaragua to renew our Visas. We are now here in the country of Costa Rica as tourists, which means we have the right to remain here for 90 days at a time. After 90 days, we have to leave the country for a 72 hour period, then we are free to return again for another 90 period. This is a process we will repeat for the entirety of our life in Costa Rica...
Hassle? You might ask...At first we thought so. And to some degree it is. But also, we are extremely excited for the uninterrupted family time we will have and the time to actually relax!
The hardest part will be the 8 hour bus ride. We always pray for safety when we ride a bus like this, whic has only been about three times. Those three times though have all been a little scary at times. So you can pray for our safety as we travel on the bus.
We are somewhat nervous about crossing the border and also about getting from the bus stop to our destination which is about 30 minutes away. Aparently NIcaragua is not like Costa Rica in that they are buses running every 20 minutes or so. In NIcaragua there are only so many buses that run at the same times every day and if you miss those, you are out of luck...
There are taxis at the price of $70 a taxi per four people- which won't work for us...
So, anyway, you can pray for that part of the trip where we are trying to get from the bus stop to the hotel. We have to check the time the bus leaves from the stop and also find a grocery store to get groceries from before we leave the city as well!
(Sounds like it will be exciting, huh?)
We will be gone Monday through Friday. Thanks for your prayers!
Just a glimpse into our lives following JESUS as He leads us to serve Him in the nations. Thanks for stopping by!

Safe travels my friends! enjoy your time.
Really liked Nicaragua...que pobre.
Miss you clowns.
Wow--I didn't realize how long it has been since I have visited the CLF Costa website! Ya'll have had a lot of excitement and change in the past month! I'm sure you're dancing for joy to have reached the milestone of graduation and hopefully this trip away will help "recharge your batteries," both as a couple and as a family. I prayed for your safety--that whole bus situation sounds rather adventurous:). And Brooke, the new look fits you! God bless!
