The Hensons In Cusco: Here we go again....

So I kind of fell off the blogging horse for a bit, but it was so fun to have Nathan post pictures and tell stories from his time in Africa. He is now back in Costa Rica and yesterday we started back to school for this next semester. This will be our last semester at the school, as we will be finishing here on April 20. I am hoping to learn as much as possible in these next few months. Everyday I am reminded of how much I have learned, but how much more I have to go!

Last week my parents and Nathan's parents came for a visit to Costa Rica. We were able to travel with both families to see different parts of Costa Rica. I will say that my favorite time from the week was last Friday morning, when Mamí and Papí had a breakfast for both of our parents at their house. It was such a fun time for our parents to meet Mamí and Papí, and get to see a bit more of our world here in San José. It was really sad to see our families leave. It is amazing because I do think that last week flew by faster than any other week. We looked so forward to them coming, but they were gone way too soon. It was a great time to rest and prepare for starting school again.

I mentioned about a month ago that my grandmother had died, and yesterday my grandfather (her husband) died as well. These are my mom's parents and my last living grandparents. In many ways this is a blessing for my grandfather, but has been difficult for my mom and her siblings. I would love to be home with my family, but it appears right now that it would be difficult to fly to Atlanta due to the weather. In all things we know that our God is soverign and that His timing is perfect. He is once again using this situation to show me that. Thanks be to our God!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Here are a few pictures from our time with family:
