Bienvenidos amigos.
Today, I am finishing up the final packing details and enjoying time in the country, picking raspberries with John, making Spinach Souffle for Mom and I, cafecito with Mom at Java Jo's, birthday dinner for Joyce (the big 18!!) and final moments with my familia at home. I feel ready, as much as I can be. I am excited and anticipating great things. I am going into this experience studying abroad with an open perspective. I want to learn from the people, their culture and traditions and history...
Latin American Studies Program is part of the CCCU (Coalition of Christian Colleges and Universities). There are approximately 40 students from the US and Canada that will participate in the Fall Semester. We begin our journey together in San Jose, Costa Rica. And I shall relate my experiences week by week, as time and resources permit. I'd love to hear from you and I would appreciate your prayers throughout the next 3 and 1/2 months. Pray that the Lord would open my eyes, my perspective to learn and to discern how God is leading my with the passion I have for Spanish, the people, the language, the culture! Muchas gracias! Que Dios les bendiga. (May God bless you!)
Con paz, Joanne
Christ's peace to you. Phil 4:4-7
