On Saturday we went to a local soccer game in San Jose to see Saprissa vs. Alajuela. With Saprissa being the hometown team, we went to get some gear before the game. We went to the game with four other missionary couples, all studying at the language school. It rained a little in then first half, and our ponchos came in handy. Saprissa won 2-1, but the big commodity was getting on the JumboTron…twice. Apparently pro-Saprissa Gringos are a big deal.
The other exciting thing about the night was that we ate at McDonald’s before the game. While this doesn’t sound that special, real ketchup tastes so good after eating the Tico “salsa” ketchup for a few weeks. We have a busy week ahead; we’ll be visiting La Carpio tomorrow (see Work and Ministries), volunteering at an orphanage Wed., and helping again with ESL on Thursday. Hasta luego!

That's right. The three of us -- Josh Bolton, Jamie Jacobsen, and Andy Stuntz -- are delaying college for a year to serve as missionary interns in La Ceiba, Honduras. We'll be helping two new missionary families as they plant a church, start a medical clinic, and reach out to street kids. Mostly though, we want to be vulnerable and to experience and share the power and hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That's where it's at, and that's where we want to be. Join us as we slowly learn what in the world that means!
