Today was our final day at the construction site. We were very excited to finish pouring the concrete footings for the foundation. We were also happy to be able to finish early. We finished early so that we could serve lunch at the soup kitchen in Los Guido. We served lunch to approximately 45 children. While in Los Guido, we visited the little tin house where Will & Ella (our missionary hosts) have a kids club every Saturday. They provide a mini VBS every week for 50-100 kids in that one small room.After lunch, we drove to the Faro Del Este Iglesia Evangelica Metodista (Light of the East Evangelical Methodist Church). This pretty church was built by one of our team members, Ann Littleton, in memory of her son. The church had several gorgeous stained glass windows and a beautiful mosaic behind the alter.
We found time for a little shopping in Moravia (another suburb of San Jose) before dinner. Dinner this evening was at a nice Italian restaurant a few blocks from the seminary. The evening ended with a final visit with Will & Ella. We shared our impressions of the week and our hopes of seeing them when they come to the States in January and possibly seeing them on a future mission trip. Now everyone is busily packing their suitcases before bed because we have another early morning tomorrow.
