Volcan Turrialba

Hi everybody!  Yesterday  I went to a volcano!  (Mrs. Brennan, you would have loved it!)  It was so beautiful!  The car that we rode in wasn't four wheel drive so  we had to walk a mile and a half totally up hill. But when we got to the top it was unlike anything  I have ever seen!  The volcano was active and smoking. I could see a little bit of lava.  We were only allowed to stay at the top for 20 minutes because of the fumes.  Also when we got to the top the weather changed.  It was twenty degrees cooler than down the mountain.  

When we first reached the top the clouds were completely covering the view of the crater.  My dad asked me to pray for the clouds to move so that we could see it. (My parents always ask me to pray for the weather, because God answers my prayers for the weather). I prayed, and God moved the clouds within minutes.

I wish you were all there to see it with me.  You are all in my prayers.

Rain,rain,rain

Hi everybody!  Sorry that I haven't written in a long time. You won't believe how much it rains here.  You can stand outside for two min. and come in soaked!  Here is a picture in my third min. outside.  Today, May 24 is my mom's birthday!  I am not going to tell you how old she is because that's personal.

I miss you very much.I will try to write back as soon as possible.  Also don't forget to put your comments on my blog!  You  are all in my prayers! 

My first day in Costa Rica

Yesterday I got on a plane to Costa Rica. I went on two planes  

the first plane was two hrs. the second plane was four hrs. My family arrived safely in Costa Rica! This morning I woke up to the sounds of dogs, roosters and the neighbor's loud christian music. We also went to the river near our house and I built a flag and claimed the island in the middle of the river and named it "Lucyland". The capital of Lucyland is "Lilytown". You are all in my prayers. ADIOS!

Getting Ready

Hello everybody! Sorry that I didn't write when I said that I would. It is two days until I get on the plane! I miss all of you a lot. I can't believe that this is really happening. When my parents said that we were going to Costa Rica I thought that it wouldn't really happen, I thought that the Lord would come before we would go.

Right now I am at my grandma's house. All that we have been doing is playing the wii, going in my grandma's pool and hanging out. You are all in my prayers.

Last day of school

It is sad that I won't see her for two months! It is sad that I won't see all of you for two months. Make sure that you send comments to my blog! I should have time to write tomorrow.Write to you later!
