I'm Blogging.., I'm Blogging (From MaryBeth)

Greetings family, friends, and co-workers at TravelGuard. Not to repeat what others have said, I'll keep my message short and sweet. I discovered that coffee trees really do grow on mountains, just like Mrs. Olsen said. I discovered that even with language differences we are somehow able to communicate in our very limited Spanish and their limited English. And most importantly love is universal. The people of Costa Rica are precious. We are so blessed to be here. It looks like we will be able to serve the people affected by the earthquake. It is very surreal to see cracks in the pavement, huge trees toppled over, mud slides of a whole mountain side, houses crumbled into rubbish and yet the people of the church were singing praises to our awesome God. We are blessed. Thanks for your prayers going through customs...very interesting and a little scary. Thanks TG...Jonilee is doing great. Hold down the fort TOD team, and Joel, Alyssa, Jon, Flor, Joy and Ronald, you are loved. Dad is awesome, you would be so proud of him, it is so fun to see him in his element. TGIF team you know what to do...7 habit facilitators, you are special.
