Team Arrives in Costa Rica (Day 1)

As I pen these words the team has settled down in their hotel rooms and decided what they would like to do before dinner at 7 p.m. For some reason I think sleep enters our minds!

God was absolutely with us from the beginning this morning regarding each state our team members were departing from. The Arkansas team has a few trunks that might have been a tad heavier than our allotted 50 lbs. But due to circumstances regarding a check-in machine we didn’t even have to weigh our trunks!  Only God!  We also met mission teams coming out of Little Rock, Arizona, Houston, etc., all headed to Central America.  We sat with teams going to Belize, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua.  It is so cool to see all the team t-shirt colors and designs.  And to see so many people, from the young to the older (and more mature J), giving of their time and resources along with each of you to get the Good News laid at the doorstep of the people’s hearts in Central America. 

Friends and family members please know that everyone is healthy and tired. The team will have their first ‘long’ team meeting tonight after dinner so pray for us as we build relationships with one another to be able to better serve Him.

Please pray for the team: Linda, Denise, Debra, Russell (shooting video and pictures for us for a Promo Video) his wife Susan, Heather, Shawna (whose husband just got out of the hospital yesterday), Stacey, Janice, Judy, Kathleen, and myself.  We so desire to be TOTALLY YIELDED to HIS PLANS for these missionary women!

Four of the team ladies just stepped in to report they are taking a stroll to the market.  Of course it is the younger ladies because this older lady is propping her feet up to knock out some of the swelling! Ha,ha,ha,ha

I will keep you posted….

His,
Vickie
