Wow! We have been having an amazing time on our mission trip in Costa Rica. We have seen the Lord do some amazing things in the hearts of our students, staff and in the Ticos we meet everyday. We have had great opportunities to share the gospel, worship with others, read the Word, grow close with each other and experience Costa Rica. Here are our past two week in pictures:
