ting many miles on our legs and feet. Deb Neff, Beth Kraeger, Ann Marie Belcore, and I are already 'plotting' to see how we can all be together next year on the 2010 Medical Missions trip... if we are allowed to come back:) I had a little girl 'rattled' something to me in Spanish today and then motioned me to come down on her level as she 'planted' a 3 year old kiss on my sun parched lips after I had given her a heart shape sucker...priceless. My Spanish stinks, but I tried to tell a lady that next year I will be speaking Spanish. I had no idea what next year was so I decided to say..."manana, manana, manana, manana...Espaniol. I said the 'manana' really fast not taking into account of how many times I had said it...she replied to me in Spanish, oh by Saturday? Uh...not quite that soon. We are watching the Costa Rica soccer game against Honduras playoffs for the World Cup, it reminds me of a good USA football game between the Bears, and Packers. Lively, and in another corner a lively round of Catch Phrase is happening with Jack, Sophia, AnnMarie, Matt from Chicago, Julie from Milwaukee, and Amber from Stevens Point...lively. Precious relationships are forming, not only only the people we serve at the clinic, but around the dinner table and evening activities as well. God is good. Hello to all...family, you are loved, TOD team, I do miss you too. Steve told Jonilee yesterday that she would make a great surgical tech as she assisted him with a couple of eye surgeries. I say it is that 'astonishing customer service.' We have made a great connection here in Costa Rica for an incredible English speaking doctor, Med Team, and an incredible private tour service for the MTS department. How cool is that...making those connections and always thinking about how TG can provide even greater services. See you soon. MB
