We made it to church just 5 minutes to 9:00 for the first meeting. The kids got out of the car & went right in without hesitation. There was a lot less anxiety about being at church despite a the language barrier. Paul got up & introduced our family & shared a few words in Spanish as it was "testimony meeting" when anyone can speak. We got home & had a restful afternoon. We heard the cheering over at the nearby soccer field & went over to watch our first game with uniformed teams & a referee! It was the local Junquillal team playing against a team from a town near Liberia, CR.

We had an unusual cluster of bug visits tonight. Something flew across the dining area & landed right on Stacia's arm as she jumped up screaming & all the kids came running out. We thought it was a bat, but it turned out to be just one of the friendly giant grasshoppers or locusts. Despite multiple attempts at shooing it away, it really liked our bug-zapping lamp but was too big to fit through to get zapped! Paul had to take care of business to dampen the general hysteria.
