Day 6 and the concrete work is done, stuccoing is done, and septic system is in. Tomorrow doors and windows go in and we will wrap up the work we are able to do with the time we had. There is still painting to be done and various other things but the foundation and home is in place and we are so excited about the results.
The families that have embraced us and the people we have encountered have made the work on the house seem like a bi-product of our mission. We have made some very special friendships and memories that we will take home in our hearts. The house is just a house, but the relationships are forever. Not only with the people of Costa Rica, but the people we will travel home with as well. Our team has a special bond now because of the experience we have shared here.
Today we talked about the word duty. There were many opinions about this word and many perspectives on what it means. I personally feel like what we have done here in Costa Rica was not out of duty, but out of love for Christ because of what he did for us. We want to pay forward that love He gives us; a love with no expectations, no boundaries, and no demands. It is a love that gives not out of duty, but out of desire.
