Week in Review
There are so many thing I wanted to pass on, I’ve just decided to do a day by day so I don’t forget anything. Last Saturday: We went out to Bosques in the afternoon to visit friends there. It was strangely comforting to do something so incredibly familiar. After all those trips to La Plata, [...]
pops
It’s been almost a month since the last post. I don’t even know how long it’s been since my last post. Longer than a month, for sure. So I’m jumping back in here. There’s really only one ice cream chain here in Costa Rica. Pops. Some ticos pronounce like you would in English and some [...]
seniors
Next week we start our final trimester of language school. We’ll sort of be like the seniors on campus, or something like that. The ones that all of the new students look at and (oh so utterly mistakenly) think “If I could just speak Spanish like THEY do, then I’d be set.” And really, it’s [...]
So how about that?
And okay, here we go! One month from today I’ll be back on the ground in Buenos Aires.

Day in the Life (Part 7)

Day in the Life (Part 6)

Day in the Life (Part 5)
In this segment we go to the ‘hole-in-the-wall’ that I eat at. Tony is the name of the guy that runs it. Great food for a great price, you can’t ask for much more than that! When I began my language learning route downtown I wanted to find a place like this where I could [...]
Day in the Life (Part 4)
In this segment we meet a few more of my language helpers. Tomorrow, you go with me to lunch to a delicious ‘hole-in-the-wall’ Costa Rican “Soda”.
Charis 08
I’m back from Germany and Charis 08. It was an amazing and historic week as brothers from all over the world came together for the dual purposes of celebrating the 300th anniversary of the Brethren movement and to meet to discuss the issues of church planting, leadership training and ‘integrated ministries’ (also known as wholistic [...]
