Following the Call: October Fun!

Check out what we did in October....

ENJOY!

WE FINALLY RECEIVED THE PERMITS TO START WORK ON PHASE 2!!

We welcomed a team from The Bridge Fellowship, TN

They worked half the week off-site in Guapiles

This is where Bruce slept when they were in Guapiles!

Proof! He is up in the air!

We welcomed our last team for the 2017 Team Season

Shalom Christian Academy

We celebrated Bruce's birthday on October 3.

Celebrated with the team that was here and the Children's homes kids

Perfect birthday cake!

Yep, I did that!

At the beginning of October, we were hit with Tropical Storm Nate. During this time, Costa Rica had a lot of damage and some really bad/strange happened:

We lost more of our land on Phase 2 from the river rising.

The famous Tarcoles River (Crocodile Bridge) flooded and many of the crocodiles were swimming wherever the water would take them....including the streets and in the cities where neighborhoods were.

The Tarcoles River overflowed!

These kind of pictures were posted all over Facebook!

Just walking down the street!

Bruce had a little bit of down time to be creative. He decided to make a new, smaller and more portable smoker

Chunche #3

Fits on the back of the truck

Seasoning it! It worked!

At the end of October, Leyton got to go to church camp. Emme was a volunteer at the camp. She worked with 6-7 year old boys and was called a "very big help"! She is growing up!

On his way to church camp!

After Bruce got back from the States, the kids were gifted one of the new mini Nintendo game boxes...(they didn't even know it existed!) Thanks to the family that gifted it (you know who you are!)

First time playing the Nintendo Mini

Just a normal day at our house!

We were able to have friends over to eat dinner and play for awhile! We got to turn their son into a hunting machine (don't worry it is NERF--it's just been "Bruce-ized")
