Catching up...on sleep!

The team left on Saturday to return to the States and we slept in on Sunday morning; the first time in a very, very long time! Good thing our worship service here in Costa Rica isn't until 2:30 p.m. We finished up our Bible Study we were attending in Orosi on Sunday at noon. Tomorrow night is our last Orientation for the January team in Paraiso which is about a half hour from the camp. On Wednesday and Thursday I plan on making some Christmas cookies specifically for Friday night at our house when the Youth Group has their small group meeting here. Traditionally, the Costa Ricans exchange tamales at Christmas time. Most have never had Christmas cookies the way we make them in the States. So, this should be a fun cultural experience for them. Well, in the morning it's early to rise to do some much needed grocery shopping since we have been eating at the camp with the team most of all of last week! We are on the count-down for Danielle and Brad's arrival on Saturday night and funny as it is, even some of the Costa Ricans are counting the days down too to be able to see them again!
