I got back from Costa Rica–the land of “Pura Vida!”

I had a great time, but I sure was glad to be home.

I enjoyed getting to know Marlo and his family the best.

Of course I’m a nature boy so I loved hiking in the jungle too!

My Spanish is better, so the goal of the trip was accomplished, although, honestly I’m glad to be back to speaking English all the time. When you have to try and communicate constantly in another language it gets pretty tiring.

Sunday was Kathy’s birthday! It was a terrific day!

We went to Rockbridge Baptist Church where Ashley and I spoke.

I always enjoy preaching! As Kathy would say, “Tim lives to hear himself talk.”

After the service, we met with the Mission Committee.

Glover Baptist Church was Whirlwind Mission’s sponsoring church. Since they merged with Faith Baptist to become Rockbridge Baptist, it left us without a sponsor. Seems like Rockbridge BC will vote on sponsoring us at their next business meeting. Praise the Lord for that!

We took Kathy to her favorite Italian food place last night for her birthday.

It’s been great to be back home. I hope you missed reading my blog, but I’m back in the saddle now, baby!

I’ve been working on uploading the pictures I took as well as downloading the video from my video camera onto my computer so I can start editing.

Jesse and I are going to he mission at Azalea in a few minutes. They haven’t had much homework because they’re taking the State CRCT test.

GREAT to be back with my family!
