This afternoon we went for a prayer walk around the community. We tried to really take in the moment and notice how different Costa Rican life is.

Tonight we held our 2nd Movie Night as we watched “Wonder.” Many children from the community came that have never stepped foot inside of Vida Abundante before! Michelle did a great job sharing during intermission about how we are all fearfully and wonderfully made by God!

We put the final coat on the inside of the church! It looks really great!
