Hello! I wanted to do a quick update - we got to Costa Rica two nights ago and I am super excited for what we’re doing here. We are at a teens challenge site which is a ministry that focuses on drug addicts, alcoholics, people on the streets, and the process of leading them to Jesus. These are located all across the world, and are year long programs to teach them about the bible, give them living space, and give them work. It’s like rehab but a million times better. There is a mens site, womens site, and one that we are helping build - which will be for moms and their kids! What we will be doing is lots of manual labor helping with the new house, building connections with everyone in the program, and outreach in costa bringing more people here. The cool thing about this place is all of the workers here on this site are currently in the last months of their program, which means they have chose to leave their past addictions behind and grow here. Absolutely so cool! Last night we got to go to the mens ministry site - eat and do worship with them. It was a very sweet night, and cool to know that for some of them, we are the first people to introduce mission work to them. It’s a big responsibility and been cool to build with them. It’s also cool to see that we are apart of their testimonies right now, and seeing them beat those addictions. Today we got to work at the mom and kids site, and get to start painting, yard work, etc. Super blessed for a sweet time period, and seeing change for all these people.

- side note we are in the middle of the jungle:) cabins and snakes galore 

- our hosts are the sweetest and make the best burritos 

- I feel challenged and pushed here 

- I am excited to take all this home with me 

all the best! <3 kylie
