Hello everyone!
It is a gorgeous Monday morning - no rain, and the sun is shining. I love waking up in Central America. Last night it rained for hours, but it looks like we'll have some wonderful sunshine for at least a few hours today.
The wireless internet isn't working now, so this is just a written post, no new pictures. Last night we had a great dinner at a local restaurant. LOTS of meat and and black beans - very traditional. The restuarant was open-air and had a great ambience. I know all the students were glad to get a hearty meal and then come back to bed.
Before we turned in for the night, Cherith (our JE guide) went over the plans for Monday. We will be driving to the volcano Arenal and checking in to our second hotel (we stay there only tonight). Then we will hike down to a beautiful waterfall and enjoy some swimming, and then check out some hot springs as well. Should be an exciting day!
No guarantees on internet at the volcano hotel, but I will try. If you don't hear from me in a couple of days, I'll be back on when we return to San Josa (Tuesday evening).
Thanks for all the prayers! Some of us are experience sinus congestion, so please pray for our health.
people have checked in on the site and prayed for the GCCS seniors. Thanks for being one of them!

The pics are fantastic! I am thrilled for all of you as you make incredible memories that will last forever. I know you must be seeing and experiencing things beyond what you could imagine, b/c that's how our God works!
I pray your illnesses will not be able to interfere with your joy or God's amazing plans for you in CR.
love & continued prayers,
Mrs. Brown
HELLO ASHLEY! I got your iPod working!
Glad everyone is having a good time and the weather was better this morning.
Someone left $80 for the orphanage at church yesterday! What should I do with it? I have no idea who it was.
God Bless! Sue Stickel

I'm just learning to do this blog stuff, so I just left my first comment on the packing day, I think! Look there, okay?! Thank you, Jesse, for the updates and pics! We will pray for good health and safety, even near a live volcano! Take care of each other...Shirley B.
