I found I was much more vulnerable and insecure living in a different country. The friendships that God gave us were an enormous blessing that He used to encourage and comfort us time and again. These are some of the people that we still pray for every day and are so thankful to have been a part of their lives for a short time!

We loved our year in Costa Rica learning Spanish and the latin culture! The friends we made were such a blessing to our family as we adjusted to living in another country. These are just a few memories and people we will never forget!
