Muchos Gracias

Well, I guess Costa Rica is just like any other country: there are people who are awesome, and then the other people. The other people took an interest in my backpack while I was sleeping on the bus to Arenal, so I showed up here with only the clothes on my back, and luckily my passport, all of my money, and my wallet. So the guy got some clothes that he probably needed more than I did, a toothbrush which I´m sure he needed more than me, and my $3 backpack.

Today we met the awesome people as we explored Arenal. We had a nice man drive us to our zip line canopy tour who spoke only spanish. I sat up front with him and actually had a really nice conversation, and I was surprised to hear how much spanish I could pull out. Then we went to the rio caliente, that is, the hot river. It was a river that had a decent current and was about 100 degrees. It was awesome. We met some people there and talked to them for a while and found out they were Christians and we just had a great time with them. We will share a bus back to San Jose with them tomorrow, which will be so much fun. God has created so many amazing things, and it has been so cool to experience them here in Costa Rica! I have been pulled out of the slump that I was in, and I´m doing so much better. Thanks for your prayers, and stay awake when on busses in foreign countries, or keep your bag between your legs!
