Found new Family

I ended my last post with a prayer request and that’s why I want to open up this one with thanksgiving.
Meanwhile I have found a church that I really enjoy and that’s why I thank you for your prayer. It might surprise you what kind of church it is but I’m actually attending a Biker Church called “Soldiers for Jesus M.C.” (Motorcycle Club). Their goal is it to reach out to the Biker community. While only man can be members of the M.C. there are many other people that attend the church. The church has a lot of families and young people like me who have nothing to do with Bikes. I really enjoy this church because they made me feel like I’m part of it even though I was just visiting. Another thing they did that so far I never experienced was that on my second visit I also had birthday and one of my friends that came along told them that it was my birthday and in short notice they organized a birthday party, which also was my only one that day. So I never experienced that, that “strangers” would organize and celebrate a birthday party with me. As mentioned, I really enjoy this church and feel like I’m part of them.
At work things are going good. Out of the ca 20 locations for a missions trip we have 8 confirmed and another 4 in the last few steps to be done. We still have a lot of work in front of us and not a lot of time. Sometimes this week I should be publishing the website, which will be something less that I have to worry about. As promised I’ll let you know as soon as the website is online. If you know someone that is interested in doing a missions trip to Costa Rica this summer, then please get me in touch with them. We are still looking for people.
wo more things that I had the chance to experience the past few weeks. First I experienced my first earthquake and about a week later my first volcano eruption. Now if you’re thinking if I’m safe, then I can affirm you that there is no need to worry. The earthquake wasn’t that strong and the eruption not that big as well as that the volcano isn’t really close. However, the city of San Jose was covered in ashes and it smelled really strong of sulfur. Well this was it for now. Thank you so much for your interest and may God bless you richly.
