Carlos took us on a surprise adventure! We went to this river that flows down from the side of the volcano, so the water is hot! It was awesome, and we hung out there for about two and a half hours.

Waterfall Exploration
On our journey to the resort, Carlos took us a different way so we could stop at this amazing waterfall and explore the great outdoors. We also stopped at some shops in La Fortuna and had time to purchase souvenirs.

Foosballs and Smiles
I got to play foosball with a kid today. He was around 7 years old. He liked to mess with me by putting the ball on my side of the table. He scored a goal by putting the ball on my side of the table, but I ultimately won the game. He was grinning ear to ear the whole game. we both had a lot of fun and laughed at each other. The game moved slowly at first, then picked up speed towards the end. We shook hands afterwards and shared a smile.

Meet Judy
We visited six different families today in la Cuenca and were able to pray for them and give them a sack full of food and groceries.
Judy and Hugo. Judy played soccer with us the past few days and some of us were able to get to know her before today. Judy cried she was so thankful for the food we gave her. She and her family have been going through a very hard time. She has fought to stay in school and is in her 10th year. Unfortunately, she is from Nicaragua, and the school will not give her accreditation for graduation unless she is able to travel back to Nicaragua and get the correct paperwork which will be very expensive. I think this story moved our students to most, and it was an emotional moment hearing her story. Everyone gave her a hug before we left.

Before we left Sonrisas con Esperanza for the last time we all gathered around Hugo and Nathan, another missionary who partners with Hugo. We prayed for them, their ministry, their families, and the community there in la Cuenca.

Someone in the neighborhood had their fence stolen, so some of the guys helped bring some of the fencing from Sonrisas con Esperanza to replace others. |
