Hey its Trent and a few of use had a great experience participating in a medical survey to inform people about the clinic, being built now and opening in January. The houses we saw made me appreciate our blessings a lot more, the things we take for granted like running water and a working stove, without smoke moving through your house all day. The worst thing was that no one had indoor toilets, all of them are holes in the ground and they fill them back in and they are extremely close to their wells, which greatly contributes to the sickness devastating these areas. None of the people we spoke to have health care, so they do not even know if they are sick. The only health care theses people can attain is in clinics and you have to arrive no later than 4am and then only 40 people are able to be seen per day, so most people have given up on this. The new clinic will hopefully be able to see more people per day, so these needy people can get help. Although this was extremely sad to see, it was a great experience, that I will never forget. Overall It was a great day! Trent
Today started like most Costa Rica Mission trips - we had breakfast, heard a testimony and then had some time to spend with God alone before our work day starts
The Concrete Crew

We had a group do medical screenings - We met with this pastor that cant get health care for his daughter that has been ill since birth.
Check out the fancy boots!

After a long day of work we went to a local church for VBS. The ninos were really excited to play with the group from the US!
They always wanted to be in someones lap!
We sang songs, played games, had a lesson and a craft! It was a great day!!
