Lost in Translation

Tomorrow we go on our first paseo (outing) outside of the San Jose area since we arrived in Costa Rica. We're gong to visit a volcano and see some other tourist sites with a group of 10 other people from the language school. Then on Sunday our church is going on an all-day paseo. There'll be food, games (soccer of course), an evangelistic message, swimming, etc. I think that the church often does baptisms on their paseos as well.

Speaking of which, it looks like I'll get the privilege of baptizing James in the near future. He said that he would be blessed to have me baptize him, and of course I would be very blessed to do so.

If you've been praying for James, thank you! He's doing very well in his walk with God. We've started memorizing some verses together during our weekly discipleship time. He just finished memorizing the books of the NT. Please pray for his work. He's designed a magazine that will serve as a restaurant guide for San Jose, and now he's busy selling advertising space in the magazine. As you can imagine, this is a ton of work, and we're praying that it comes out very well for him.
