The students of ILE go every Thursday to one of the poorest areas of San Jose. In the following video I have tried to portray some of the realities of the area. Unfortunately, it is impossible to capture the sounds and smells. For a few hours every Thursday, I take a huge reality check. It is the reality of THOUSANDS of people around the world. I only get a small taste of it. But I'm reminded, this is why I'm here. When I get tired of memorizing vocabulary and can't get the verbs down, I remember La Carpio and the reason why I'm here, learning Spanish. Every word communicated with these kids serves a purpose. We are building kingdom relationships. Seeing these faces smile in the midst of the muck and mire makes everything worth it. Take 2 minutes to see some of what the Lord is doing here in San Jose. These are the faces of La Carpio, Costa Rica:

Well. That was a tear jerker! It IS a reality check. How awesome is that you have a regular opportunity for REAL hands-on ministry. Your calling is both a huge sacrifice and a huge blessing at the same time! I love and miss you cousin! God bless you!
