This morning began with a trip to an English-speaking Methodist church in Limon. I REALLY enjoyed the service, and it was very refreshing for me to hear a good message (about committing your life 100% to Christ in every moment) and connect with God at church. I was feeling a little worn out and apprehensive about the rest of the semester, but in church I was reminded that God will get me through everything He brings me to and that everything I encounter this semester and everyday is from Him. Every challenge is a gift, an opportunity to grow. Trust is imperative.
After church, we packed up and got on the buses to head back to San Jose. We stopped for lunch at the same buffet we had stopped at on Friday and made it back a few hours earlier than scheduled. It was nice to have the afternoon free to relax a little bit, call home, and get some homework done. I was really excited to discover that my blog has reappeared, so I spent a while updating it...sorry for its disappearance. I'm not sure what happened, but apparently it was a wide-spread issue that was resolved over the weekend.
I spent much of the evening working on a paper about poverty in Costa Rica. We've been interviewing people all over San Jose and Limon for the last week about their opinions in regards to poverty, and this essay was basically an analysis of what people said and how we should react to the global issue of poverty. It was pretty interesting to think about and to hear what other people had to say about the topic.
We ordered pizza for dinner, which was kind of fun and really delicious! My busy weekend was a little overwhelming, but I feel a lot better now that I have that paper out of the way. Tomorrow morning I don't have class, so I'm looking forward to getting some more school work done and hopefully getting some extra sleep. Look out week...here I come!
