Costa Rice Day Six Tuesday

hello all!

today was a very loooooooooonnnnnnnnngggggggg day for us! it is now 9:50 and we just arrived at the hotel--we left at 7:30 this morning!! we are all very very very tired, so this will be pretty short! we hope you don´t mind!

the projects are really coming along so well!! the progress is great! andy, pastor and jordan are almost finished building the bodego!! they have reached the 13th course and it finally reaches the ceiling!! they framed in the door way, and it looks great!! the walls are so high that we really can´t see inside any more, so we are not sure what they do in there. but they are making progress!!!

kim and karen got a new helper!! the birthday boy!! i guess not that he has bridged another decade, the straw boss decided to give him a more cushier job!! the three of them painted the entire upstairs apartment!! so, from the guys that did the framing, dry walling, mudding, sanding, and now painting, the rooms are totally transformed and look terrific!!

kathy made 5 sets of curtains and tim came to the rescue and hung rods so the curtains could get hung! now timmy has curtains on the window and no longer on the bed, and the dining and living room curtains will be going up tomorrow.

mark did corner beading work and mudding the dry wall in the library, and john hung the last of the dry wall.

wayne and howard did their usual top notch electrical work.

david and brent did their usual mudding and sanding in the library.

after the hard day´s work, jay and nancy and tim and amanda took us to the ´ram luna´restaurant for a sumptuous dinner. the best part of the dinner was the view of the entire city of san jose. it was gorgeous. as a special treat, we also got to see costa rican dancers do their native dance in costume. it was exciting.

we are all beat and ready for a good night´s rest.

we love you all and miss you too. thank you so much for your prayers. we feel them all the way down here. God bless you all richly for your devotion.
