i have arrived!!!

Well, I made it!  After a chaotic couple days leading to departure, it’s so great to finally be here!  Travel was easy and the airport was much less chaotic than I was expecting.  Although today is Mother’s Day here, so I think I just got lucky...

My host family is great!  I have a host mom and dad, brother (19), and sister (27) who I still need to meet.  I can tell they’re full of life and laughter and love already, and I can only understand about every third word.  Haha.  Can’t wait to pick up the Spanish again so we can actually communicate!

Thanks for your prayers as I traveled today.  Still can’t believe I’m going to bed in COSTA RICA!!
