Costa Rica Part 2

Here are some email updates from PD through the week we were in Costa Rica:

Monday, June 13th

I arrived at diaz home around 2 am (3 OKC time)
and will join the team for lunch at Arianna's church.  Friday they did some shopping, changed money, had time with Pastor Ronnie Diaz (Moses' father) Saturday they feed some poor children, ministered to youth at Moses' church then ministered that night to youth at Arianna's church.  Sunday am they did the service at Arianna's church and this morning their school.  Moses said the testimonies that about five of the MC's wrote and delivered in Spanish were very impressive. You will see them on video when we get back and post them.  Ronnie's wife said she is very impressed with the team.

Today made 18 complete ministry times since Saturday!! Fri we drive to the coast and swim so please pray it doesn't rain all the time.  It has rained nearly everyday here at some point because it is the rainy season.

June 18th
Happy Fathers Day tomorrow!!

I have posted new pictures of us at beach and pool on my Facebook.

Fri we started carpool 8:15 am and arrived at little condos a few blocks from ocean at 12. All sixteen of us in one 15 passenger van with little air-conditioning so was hot, very crowded with our overnight bags.

We stopped and saw alligators by a bridge.

We walked to eat at a Soda (cafe) and do some shopping. Then straight to Centeal Pacific Ocean. We were careful because of undercurrent riptides that sometimes occur So I told them to stay near shore line. I grew up body surfing so I stayed with them as long as I could but the waves were big and finally I started body surfing just a little ways out. I loved it. Felt young again except for the very pebbly bottom-hardly any sand where the waves break. It was joy to be slammed and dive over and under the waves. But you know me. It was restoring to my soul though now my body feels old again.

We pray for refreshing and safety today that Satan has no door to come in and that we be as Psalm 121 blessed coming and going.

We go back this afternoon then Sun AM minister in the two services at Moses' church. Then fly all night and drive home from Dallas returning early Mon afternoon.

Thank you for your prayers that we finish well and in good health.
