I leave for beautiful Costa Rica in 2 weeks. So I already know that the start of this blog is a little premature, but as excited as I am to get to San Jose, excited I am to start writing down my thoughts on this experience.
I was just thinking the other day that the 10 year old me would be so proud of me right now. I used to pour over National Geographic magazines, research and look through travel agencies and look at all the pictures of all the places I dreamed of going. 10 year old me decided I was going to live a plain and simple life, I would get married have kids, and be nothing. I sold myself short at a young age. Here I am! About to start a new chapter in my life. Its so overwhelming and I am so incredibly excited for the struggles, the experiences, everything! God is so amazing that He set this fire in my heart to do His work, be HIS.
So I guess for starters, I should say what exactly I will be doing down there? Sounds good. Well, I am going to be teaching pre-schoolers English at the school there, and then volunteering my services at the print shop, the church, the school. Where ever else I am needed. I will be living in a small apartment accross the street from the school (everything is very closely knitted together there) with another teacher from Canada, her name is Kristen and we have already talked on skype and I was given an official tour of the apartment. All I think about it Costa Rica, it is infesting my mind as of late and I just cant wait to get there and do something worth while...
With that, the next time I post I will be in another Country, with lots more stories and pictures to be told!
