Hola!
First off, my computer has crashed, so my posts will not be every week. I will try to keep them updated as often as I can.

I feel completely submerged into life here. It feels like I have been here for much longer than one month.
The primary focus these first three months is Spanish and basic training of the Bible. I have three Bible classes right now, one on Theology, one on how to study the Bible, and one on learning how to evangelize to the Costa Ricans.
A typical day for me is 4 hours of Spanish, lunch, then 1 1/2 of Bible, followed by free time. Weekends we do ministry with our churches. We are really consentrating on the language right now so that when we come back after Christmas break, we are fluent and can really dive into more ministry.
I have started working with the youth group in my church. In November, my church group will be helping with a youth conference. Right now, we're brainstorming ways to really reach out into the community and grow the youth group.
Spainsh is very frustrating at times, but it is coming along. I've learned so much in just one month.
Thank you all for your support and prayers!
