The Adventure Begins in Costa Rica!

We began our journey to Costa Rica at the very early time of 1:15 a.m. Before departing for Reagan Airport in Washington, DC, our class and advisors prayed with the parents and Dr. Flood. Once at the airport we proceeded to our terminal and boarded our 6:00 a.m. flight to Atlanta, Georgia. From Atlanta we then had a four hour flight to San Jose, Costa Rica.  Once we arrived at 12:00 p.m. (Costa Rican time is 2 hours behind EST), we met up with our team leaders, Bruce and Angie.  After getting settled in at Franco's house, the place we will be lodging for the trip, we went to the Abraham Project for a tour. While we were there, Bruce and Angie gave us a lot of background on how this project started and became what it is today. They showed us several buildings including the daycare center, children's homes, multipurpose center, and medical center. We will be getting the opportunity to work in many of these buildings in the upcoming days at the Abraham Project.  After the tour, we went to Bruce and Angie's house for a Costa Rican barbecue. It was a great time of fellowship as we got to enjoy their culture's food and meet several missionary families that help run the Abraham Project.  It is a huge praise that we did not encounter any problems during our transit to Costa Rica.  Many of us are feeling rather exhausted from the long day of travel, and our looking forward to getting a great nights sleep.  We ask that you continue to pray for us that we may make an impact on the Abraham Project as well as the people we minister to in Costa Rica. We're very excited for the doors that God will open for us during our missions trip! P.S. we apologize for the late update, it was meant to be posted last night and have pictures, but due to the slow Wi-Fi that proved difficult.
