Today was a special day in Costa Rica....another Reachglobal missionary graduated from ILE, the language school of choice for all of us Reachglobal Latin America folks(non-native Spanish speakers) serving here in Costa Rica, and those joining Reachglobal since 2009 headed for other countries.
It was wonderful to see all of my old professors again and to share in this event--however, as we have realized, language learning never ends!
Congratulations, Melissa!Read more: |

When I'm at my desk, time gets away and my accomplishments rarely match my plans. But once a month if at all possible I take a personal retreat day....for prayer, relaxation, reading, planning, and most difficult of all, thinking without distractions. This little building is designed and reserved for exactly that purpose. Just ten minutes from our home is a Pastors' Center that provides counseling, relaxation and a retreat for Latin pastors and leaders. They graciously allow me to use this separate place for my personal retreat days for around seven dollars. Today was one of those days, and I have returned home refreshed, renewed and having accomplished planning that was woefully behind. I highly recommend this practice to anyone, no matter what your vocation. Read more: |

We are in the middle of the rainy season in Costa Rica. Up here in the Central Valley (4,500 foot elevation) that means chilly (down to 60 degrees) weather and huge downpours. Yesterday was no exception. Our fancy plastic raingauge showed two inches of rain...and that came in just two hours! Combine the frequent rains with rich volcanic soil and moderate temperatures and you'll understand why Costa Rica is filled with beautiful flora this time of year. You can virtually throw a seed anywhere in the vicinity of the ground and it will grow and thrive.
As we approach the end of our third year in Costa Rica we find more and more to appreciate about our adopted home. Good friends, both foreign and Tico, relaxed and friendly culture, and beautiful surroundings. This gig ain't bad!Read more: |
