Secret Mission

Costa Rica!

Wow, I can't believe I am here...

Since the last blog, my team and I had been in Nicaragua for another three weeks before Kurt and I had a brilliant idea. We decided it was time to do something drastic. Something unconventional...

(Well, other teams had done it in the past, and we actually were planning on doing this experiment for a while, but still...)

We left the team in Nicaragua. Just, left them there. We were all in Managua getting ready to return to the YWAM base in Diriamba when we dropped the news on them. We told them that they would be doing a student-leading week. Kurt and I had bus tickets to our next location, and they were to meet up with us the following Monday.

Needless to say, they were shocked. I was a little surprised at how excited some of them were that we were leaving, but it seemed as though they were up for the challenge. Their assignment was to set up ministry for that week, stay healthy and safe, and make sure to catch their bus ride to Costa Rica.

Our reunion is tomorrow night. We will be eagerly awaiting their arrival as our time apart comes to an end. I am so excited. I cannot wait to see them and recount all that has happened in our absence. Our team was ready for this even if they don't believe it... This next week will hold even more surprises for them, I am counting on it.
