Costa Rica Here We Come

As you may or may not know, Jaden, Eddie and I are headed to Costa Rica in few short weeks.  We will be there from September 28, 2012 -March 22, 2013.  This decision has been made quite recently, so we have only had about two months to prepare for this adventure.  We plan to attend "Christian  Immersion Spanish Academy" (or CISA) for a total of six months.  We will be living with a Spanish-speaking host family for three months, and then we will be able to return to the states to visit our families at Christmas. After Christmas, we will return to Costa Rica to live in a rental house for three months while we continue taking classes.  Our classes will be for 4 hours a day, Monday through Thursday, for 24 weeks.  We will also have the opportunity to serve with the mission that is affiliated with the school we are attending.  Our main goal is to learn fluency in the beautiful Spanish language.  It has always been a desire for Eddie, and I have recently come to the conclusion that I want to learn it too.  We hope to be able to use this skill to reach the Spanish-speaking people of Miami, FL or some other city with in the USA after our six month immersion is over.  Eddie will be looking for a job at a church where he can connect with the Spanish-speaking and bi-lingual people of the community that surrounds it.  Please pray for us as we take steps to follow God's leading.  Watch for more info to come.
