Pink shirts, lots of heat, and 15,000 Costa Ricans.....

     That was my morning yesterday at the San José 10 K run for breast cancer. And I am not exaggerating when I say there were 15,000 people at the race. Even the President of the country participated in the race. She was the forerunner. I ran with 3 of my friends from language school, and we had a blast. It was a fun way to see downtown San José, as well as learn more about their culture.

      Nathan's friend from medical school, Lee, arrived in Costa Rica on Friday. He and Nathan went to one of the beaches for the weekend, and had a good time catching up. When they got back last night, Lee came to dinner at our house. Mamí and I cooked a Mexican feast, and we all ate dinner together. It was fun for him to get to interact with our Costa Rican family. Lee speaks only un poco Español, so I actually got to translate a little :=)

     This week is spiritual emphasis week at our school. The school has brought in a speaker from the United States. This morning he spoke about our call as missionaries. It was a really challenging message. We look forward to seeing what the rest of the week holds. Our teachers are not giving us homework this week, so that it can be a time of refocus and rest. We pray that this week is just that for us.
