pastor jose

i think he's going to be very good for the church and amparo. he had relatives there the first night and they were wearing jeans and he talked about how God sees what we look like on the inside and He doesn't care what we look like on the outside. someone has since come to church in jeans. hm - just like home. he used to be a teacher in guatemala. he wants to build a room for the children to have a sunday school. last night about 12 kids went outside to have a bible study. he believes that we need to teach the children because they are the future. Yrlin and jeffrey were there too. cool! i have yet to find out what teaching supplies he needs. he needs the teachers first but there is a definite need for bibles. for people of all ages.

chico said that more than anything else he wants a bible, large print, patricio's bible is literally falling apart, i don't know that there are any bound pages left, the children need bibles as well. i have seen a few people have bibles but they are only the new testament. so any donations of spanish bibles would certainly be appreciated.

it is possibly to send most anything down to Teri... but remeber there are duty costs involved... and it is international... so in order for teri to get the bax of stuff she would have to go all the way to San Jose, to the post office in Zarcero (near san jose)... a long bus trip from los chiles
AND she would have to pay the duty on all the stuff in the box... that can add up... best to send it down with a team that is going.
HEY...as a side note my school (columbia bible college) is going to Costa Rica in january i think... i just don't know where is CR
