We have arrived! (Stacy)

We arrived in Costa Rica yesterday, and we love it already! We are being shown great hospitality by a lovely Costa Rican woman (a relative of a good friend), and the weather is warm and sunny. Today we ventured into town to check things out - took a taxi and checked out places to shop, see a movie, and exchange money.

For those of you who don't know, we are here to adopt 2 ticas (Costa Rican girls)! I just keep imagining what it will be like to shop, see a movie, and walk these streets with our ticas, and I can't help but tear up every time! As excited as I am, I have also had a bit of worry over all the details - travel, meeting day, bonding, etc - but I've been remembering to pray when I want to worry, and I have confidence the Lord has it all figured out! ;)

As it comes to mind, please pray with us that:

• our ticas will adjust/bond well to us and us to them
• we are able to communicate more and more in Spanish (translating is exhausting!)
• the 7 of us will travel safely

Thanks all!! :)
