So Run The Race

September 6th, 2011 Leave a comment Go to comments

24Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! 25 All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. 26 So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing.  1 Cor 9: 24-26

It’s been awhile since we last posted and it has been hectic ever since.  We finished out the 2nd Trimester (All A’s and a B for both of us), had a wonderful time with Manchester Vineyard’s Missio Dei Costa Rica Jovenes group down here, taking the bus or a taxi over to Rodney and Cindy’s each night and even had the opportunity to serve with the team over the weekend doing community clean up and helping a little with translating at the Sunday morning service.  Well worth it, even though our grades suffered a bit.

Following this adventure was a whirlwind trip home for Trimester break, where we had a wonderful time reconnecting with some of our family (those in NH), a very fast trip to SC to see Les’s folks, church camp, preached and taught a song in English AND Spanish and tried to rest as much as possible.

We’re now back and in our final Trimester!  Hard to believe we’ve been down here since January 4 (4 enero).  This Trimester promises to be the hardest one yet.  We were warned, but you always think it can’t be THAT bad … but it is!  Nevertheless, we are on home stretch with language school – to be followed by a lifetime of really learning  the spanish language.

Oh – and did we mention that Les is the Director of Worship at the school this Trimester and Diana was elected as President of the Student Council – just a little extra for both of us.  Please continue to hold us up in prayer as God puts us on your hearts and that we will run this home stretch with grace and excellence!  We pray that each one of you will run your own races in the same manner.

Blessings,

Les & Di
