yeah... sorry for the lack of updates...

There are two more weeks remaining in Costa this summer.  My goodness how the time has flew by.  I am continually shocked at how fast summers here go.  It's always a blessing.  This summer was a little different.  We had more people, better conditions, big God movements, and a lot of laughs (well, some of it is the same).  The Towart week almost did me in.  It took two days of naps to recover from that one.  Constant chopping, answering questions, refilling toilet paper, refilling water, answering questions, wiping tables, answering questions, picking up after kids, answering questions, washing and folding laundry, laundry and more laundry... It was fun, but tiring.
I was blessed to have the help of some world changing, college sophomores.  Watch out world.  I'm serious.    Here come your modern day disciples.  I do love these boys.  Griffin was my go to grill man in the A.M. Carter and Nick would wash a dish times 100.  C-Todd would do any and everything to stay in the kitchen, providing Germ-X and Sun Block.  Henry was my chopping, mixing, laundry partner dicing veg and folding clothes.  He also was my keep calm and carry on buddy.  Deep Breath.
But the summer is slowing.  We have gone from 44 people living on the mountain to 15.  Talk about EASY! Kathryn, Morgan, Erin and I have 2 easy weeks to work, relax, laugh and chill at the beach, or Whales and Dolphins!
Although the morning mountain runs kick my butt, I do think I've gained some pounds, the curse of being the cook, but hey it's well worth it!  We have had some good food!
Until the states I can fill you in on all the crazy mini adventures that go along with living in Costa Rica!
Love,
Flossie
