“Day five of a ten day mission’s trip”, just let that phrase roll around in your mind for a bit. We have reached the half way point of the Costa Rica excursion. What we’ve anticipated, worked towards, and planned for is now winding down. Yet the paint rollers are still rolling and we still bare on our bodies the marks of paint spray. The challenge is to keep on keeping on and finish as we mark our dwindling time.
Today was fruit-tasting day! Not just unique Costa Rican prickly pears served at breakfast, but the sweet fruit of preparing a house and seeing it’s residents come home. Today we just about finished the 4 bedroom apartment, the same one we began to prep, upholster, organize, visionize, and customize back on Saturday. Today the missionary family who live and love inside those walls came home to a dinosaur bedroom, a truly sparkling kitchen, a customized master closet and so much more. Their sons ran to their room and took it all it. Their daughter perched from daddy’s arms peeked into her room and saw Dora the Explorer as a long lost friend. The moment was priceless and we experienced a joy so pure, a satisfaction so sweet, that no matter of soreness can compare.
Two more apartments got the TLC today. One team took on the prep and painting of a 3 bedroom and another team tackled a studio apartment for a young married couple. More sweet fruit is coming and we can hardly wait.
