About Me

I created this blog to keep everyone updated about how things are going with my GAP year. I left the US on August 26th and returned May 4th. During GAP year I was taking classes in Spanish, theology, evangelism, and missions. I was working in a ministry called Metro, went to a Spanish church called Principe de Paz, and an English church called GGP. In the GAP year program I had the opportunity to be part of a weekly discipleship/small groups with the leaders in Costa Rica. God did great and mighty things in my life!! I am learned so much and I am falling more in love with Jesus, His word, and His people everyday! I would love it if you would continue to pray for me. Thanks for all of your support!

Building relationships

Youth group here in Costa Rica is on Saturday evenings. One night at my church's youth group I had just met a young lady I hadn't seen before so I introduced myself and learned her name was Maria. I told her I liked her bracelet. Well actually I said I like then pointed to her bracelet. haha She took it off and let me look at it. I looked at it then gave it back, but she wanted me to keep it. I thought it was so sweet! I had literally just met her and knew nothing about her except her name when she gave me this beautiful bracelet. Now this is one of my most treasured possessions that I have with me here in Costa Rica. Even though I don't know very much Spanish at all I am trying to build relationships and only by God's grace and love have I been doing just that! I am so thankful for all of the blessings that surround me.
