We are very excited! Monday the 18th we are driving to George W. Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, boarding a United Airlines flight for San Jose, Costa Rica (only after breakfast at Pappasito's) and beginning Markham Family Missions 2013.
Our children are anxious to see their friends and we are anxious to get busy supporting Matt and Lisa as they do, direct, and decide so many things at La Palabra de Vida.
Three large boxes of pre-K classroom school supplies, purchased with donations from our loyal supporters, came a few days ago, and we are transporting it to Costa Rica in a few extra suitcases. It's really the cheapest way to ship, United only charges $40 for each extra bag.
My last day of work is this Thursday, and from then until December 23 we will make our new, temporary home in Costa Rica. This will be our third time to do this, and we have grown so fond of our Costa Rican friends and teammates.
God is richly gracious and so good to us. My work schedule, our home school activities, and our trip aligned perfectly. Our supporters have been so gracious and generous to us this year, and 100% of their donations will go to support the ministries we work with. Only because of Jesus are we able to go, and only because of Jesus do we have a passion to serve in a small piece of His Great Commission. We give all the glory and honor to Jesus Christ and God the Father. To them be all the glory!
Thank you so much! We will blog regularly from Costa Rica and we are looking forward to seeing you when we return.
Bill
