Spoiled Before the Dirt

So after an exhausting week of papers, Spanish presentations, and tests my beautiful friend Emily invited me to Punta Leona to visit her family friends. What a WONDERFUL get away, I could not have asked for more hospitable hosts.  We enjoyed PB&Js (a very special treat in CR), pizza, fresh fruit, pumpkin cake, and so much more; not to mention two beautiful days at the beach! It was a much needed weekend that left me relaxed, rejuvenated, and refreshed.

Tomorrow we leave at 5AM to go to Nicaragua for 11 days.  This will be a very big change, as there is the high possibility I will be without floors or indoor plumbing.  Our intern at the program said this is where he got over his fear of cockroaches, so as you can imagine I'm VERY excited.  Despite these bumps in the road, I am truly excited to interact with this culture and to leave San José, as it will be a very different experience.  I'm hoping to go in with open arms and a receiving heart for the people and not to be caught up in the less than 4 star environment.  I ask for your prayers for safety, health, and new relationships.

Love y'all so much, and miss you greatly.

Bendiciones para ti,

Hannah
