During our time in Costa Rica, we consider it a high privilege to work with teams of folks from Loveland, Colorado and Wheaton, Illinois. The nineteen from Loveland rolled in about the same time we did, young and old alike.
Bill is the senior statesman of the bunch, quite a few years into retirement, and shares words of wisdom and laughter with teammates as young as twenty years old. Brad is about my age, and is one of those guys everyone needs as a friend. You know the kind I mean, the Phi Beta Kappa of everything important, from plumbing to drywall to cabinets.
If you come here, you'll see men and women, young and old, operating jackhammers and rolling wheelbarrows, wielding sledgehammers, and cordless drills, working in the overhead and on the ground on their knees. They're in the library and the classrooms, cataloging books and installing new electronics. They are diverse, but share two things in common, a love for Jesus, the hero, and La Palabra de Vida, the school.
There ain't a non-hacker in the bunch. So here's some pictures from today along with a few others who hack away also. My family.
As the last photo says in Spanish, "In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned.
