3 Days Notice

Sorry we haven´t written in a while. Our computer has been out of commission. One of our friends that works on base is reformatting and cleaning it up and will get it back to us this weekend. Well on Tuesday....when we return from Costa Rica! We were told on Tuesday (from the one of the administrators) that the school is taking all the missionaries to Costa Rica. Sounds fun right? Well, I am sure it will be...but they told us only 3 days before departure...crazy! (Who cares about our other plans this weekend!) We have to leave the country every 90 days to renew our passport stamp. You have to go at least 2 countries away and stay there for at least 3 days. Then you can be readmitted into the country for another 90 days. Well, Monday is the last holiday we have before Christmas break (and of course they don´t want us to miss school) so they decided at the last minute (which is pretty much the norm around here) that we will go this weekend. It is between 16 and 20 hours...ONE WAY...in the car. They rented a van so we can all fit (there are 10 missionaries and 2 administrators going). It is going to be pretty crazy since we are leaving today at noon, and will return on Monday! They wanted to take us all (and our luggage) in a dual cab pick up truck to Tegucigalpa, the capitol (about an hour and a half away) and then we would get the van for the rest of the journey. It is legal to ride in the bed of pickups here...however, definitely NOT SAFE! Thank goodness Greg defended us and talked them into bringing the van here to Comayagua so we can at least be in a closed vehicle! Anyway, we are staying in a dorm room at an Adventist College somewhere in Costa Rica...that is about all the details we know of the trip. I´m sure we will return with lots of new blog material! If you don´t hear from us for a while, it´s probably because we got stranded somewhere in south Central America...Kidding! Hopefully....

Everything is going well! We are finally getting in the flow of things are getting adjusted to our schedule. Anyway, just wanted to give you a heads up with what we are up to these days. More later...Please pray for our safety! We hope you have a wonderful weekend of relaxation!
God Bless You!
