Pictures from La Tabla

Hi folks...here are some pics for you, to update you all as to what's been going on the last couple of weeks. Here is a view from the church that we stayed at last week in La Tabla...full of drugs, prostitution, and much poverty...and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had.
And here's our staff: from l to r - Julia, Chad, Bryan, Candice, Carisa, Carol and me...after a day off at the beach :)

Here is Alex, one of the youth from Indianapolis Vineyard (the team that just left us), with a beautiful little girl from La Tabla, teaching her how to Eskimo Kiss :)
And of course, the dancing in the downpour had to happen one of these days...I mean, every day...here are some of the girls from the youth group, enjoying the rainy season here in Costa Rica.

Here's the view of the hill of La Tabla...people are free to build wherever they want here, and so they build up and up and up, with whatever supplies they can find.
Here is Bella Flor who runs the church that we worked with (looking very adorable) and her husband, Gerardo, with the van that God recently supplied them with.
What an awesome experience these last couple of weeks have been...many stories, many more pictures than are here, but hopefully this gives you all a better idea of what things looked like around here!
