We hit the ground running again; our first team for the new year, Jan 3rd, was Caroline Baptist Association from Arkansas. We worked in Flores Costa Cuca with Pastor Carmelino and church. On Wednesday evening in the central park, the team concluded with a wonderful praise and worship service. They were tremendously blessed with a potential of 28 Bible Studies from that community.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We were blessed to be able to go to the States for both and be with our families. Our son, Josh and his wife, Steph and our grandson, Drew, who turned one year old in January, were with us in Tennessee. As our custom, we also cooked the 'hog-jaw and black-eyed peas' with the help of Keith's sister Sharon, on her wood cook stove, to celebrate the New Year; the meal was delicioso! The time was too short.
