Canopy Experience - July 17th
Charla stated it best, "Our Creator is such a landscaper!"
Our team had an unexpected opportunity to experience Zip-Lining through the Canopy of the Costa Rican Rain Forest. Yes, it was super fun... BUT it was actually soon much more than that.
For some it was overcoming fears and the courage to TRUST.
Caleb gave us this picture:
"Life is a lot like a zip-line. Sometimes we can't see where we are going, sometimes it is bumpy, sometimes very scary... and the "contraption" (harness & equipment) is like God.
We have to TRUST it will hold & carry us ("from falling to our death)."
For some it was encouraging.
We all experienced this as a team, and so many were supporting & encouraging each other.
As a team, we constantly affirms the importance to TRUST, TRUST, TRUST and we would all be there to lean upon as well.
For EVERYONE, it was finding the awe in God's Creation... such a masterpiece that you just could not take your eyes off of. An experience that was so full of God Sightings... yep, he even show up when we have fun as well.

Post from Maddy
Greetings from Costa Rica!
As we reach day 4 in our adventure, I'm glad to say that the team and I have been having the time of our lives! This morning we took a break from the usual work assignments to go zip-lining through the jungle and over rivers and canyons. I guess I can check that off my bucket list.
Costa Rica just might be the most beautiful place in the world.
Everything is so green and it's always wet. I'm sad to say that I haven't really seen any cool animals yet, but there are a lot of huge bugs and beetles. Also, just in case anyone was wondering, I have been pretty much eaten alive by little bugs and blood suckers, but at least I'll have a little bit of jungle to take home with me! I can;t wait to see everyone when I get home!

Side note to our parents & family member... entire team is well, & full of amazing spirit, aside from the bug bites.
Post from Gabby - Thursday
Today, my team worked in the kitchen washing dishes & preparing lunch. It was really trying at first because all of the Ticos that worked in the kitchen don't speak English. It took a little courage & a lot of God but I finally got the guts to start using the little Spanish I know and it turned out to be way easier than expected.
Sarah Gibbs and I spent the majority of the day chatting with Lulu, a 20-year old Tica, about everything under the sun. Total girl stuff, we talked about boys, places, & our futures. It was way cool to see God show up and totally ease that language barrier to help us build a relationship that is sure to last.
Right now, we are all sitting together drinking coffee & there is so much laughter, love, & community. it's amazing to see God show up everywhere, all the time and facilitate these friendships.
