Today was the last day at our VBS sites :( I’m pretty sure that I
speak for everyone when I say that our time at Pura Vida was a life changing
experience. Even though we were tired, even though we were burnt, and even
though our voices were shot, we did everything we could to show God’s love to the
kids this morning. The last day was amazing. It was my (Heber) favorite day
because we got to share the Gospel with the children, which His Word says will
never come back void; and that in and of itself excited me. It was an emotional
day for all of us, and I know I’ll never forget it. My mom will be happy to
know that I gave away all my beanies (so I’ll have to buy some new ones :)
In the latter half of the day it was all
about fun, fun, fun! After a 3 hour-long bus ride we arrived at Volcano Lodge,
a lavish resort nestled at the base of a volcano (go figure). Then we were let
loose in the hot springs, which included 4 hot pools, 2 cool pools, 2 saunas,
and 3 water slides that, because of lenient regulations and clever engineering,
were extremely intense and probably my favorite part of the springs (right
after the all-you-can-eat buffet, where we ate dinner). We returned to our
hotel and played in the pool and jacuzzi there for a bit, if we weren’t pruny
enough. Tomorrow we look forward to more fun in the Costa Rican rainforest, but
the children will always be in our hearts.
