Well, we welcomed our first and only team for the 2021 season in March. After all the teams from 2020 were cancelled after the beginning of March because of the pandemic, we couldn't have imagined a better group to welcome and try out what teams would have looked like for the future.
Although there were a lot of unknowns and a lot of time spent with only their own group, we did get to minister and fellowship a lot with this team--and we are so thankful for that time.
Check out their week with us!
 |
| The 2021Fellowship Bible Church team (minus leaders) |
 |
| The obligatory Church picture |
 |
| And the new obligatory mask picture |
Always start the week out with a tour...
 |
| Tour of the daycare |
 |
| Tour of Phase 2 and where they were working all week |
 |
| Tour of history of Children's Homes |
And then we start work!
 |
| They worked on a drainage ditch all week |
 |
| Some got to work on machete work around the property |
 |
| There was a lot of tall grass to be cut |
 |
| We did some painting and prepping of Project Bethany Homes |
We always take time for some fun too!
 |
| We always get to celebrate Damon's birthday while he is here! |
 |
| Waiting for cake! |
There was a lot of time spent playing games and card and just hanging out! Thankfully, Emme was able to spend a lot of time with this team and get to know the team well and just be around people her age. We were so thankful for that!
 |
| Meal time was always quiet! |
 |
| Playing cards |
Then there was more work!
 |
| We love it when delivery trucks come! Lots of bags of concrete! |
 |
| About 100 pounds each! |
 |
| Learning the Tico way to carry cement |
 |
| See, we do give them breaks! |
 |
| Taking in the view |
 |
| This is how you move a guard shack! |
 |
| Just another team photo |
 |
| You can always find some team members with shovels here! |
 |
| Working smarter, not harder! |
 |
| Always time for a mid week break to listen to Bruce talk! |
 |
| Almost half way! |
 |
| Working on some cabinets |
 |
| Prepping walls |
And of course, we let them see the beauty of Costa Rica!
 |
| Frisbee time at the beach |
 |
| Eating lunch and hanging out |
 |
| We had a nice day! |
 |
| The team |
 |
| In mid air! |
 |
| And we left the beach just in time! |
And now you have the obligatory get your COVID test before you leave picture!
 |
| Everyone say, "negative!" |
And we ended the week with a pizza night in the fire oven!
 |
| Bruce doing his thing |
 |
| Getting everything ready |
 |
| Some people work and others enjoy the fruit of their labors! |
 |
| I think they enjoyed it! |
 |
| Of course, really good pizza! |
Although this was our only team for 2021, it was so nice to spend time with them again and to share our love for Costa Rica again with people.
We are so thankful for Damon and his team from Fellowship Bible Church in Kansas!
thank you
