So, we have no idea what we're in for...

Jenn and I have dreamed of disappearing overseas since our dating days.  It began with thoughts of spending a few care-free months out of the country, basically long term site-seers or beach bums.  Once we married we began brainstorming what that could realistically look like.  Even though there is much that we desire to do in the US, we believe there is no better time to go on an adventure that will shape who we are.  We decided to go for it, and have been saving up ever since.

As prayer about the idea of a trip commenced, it became apparent very quickly that we weren't going to be going as beach bums, but volunteers.  Ever since that realization, our destination had pin balled between Honduras, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua.  Finally, we decided to just go for it and buy tickets to a central location and figure it out later.  Therefore...

Continental Flight: CO7862
Departs Boise, ID at 4:32pm on January 5th 


and after a number of connecting flights, 


Continental Flight: CO1528 
Arrives in San Jose, Costa Rica on January 6th at 12:50pm

Since then, we've narrowed what we will be doing to two options:

1. Limon, Costa Rica
         Living in a local family's home and helping with anything and everything the church needs help with.  Jenn would have the opportunity to teach.  More to come when we know.

2.  Bluefields, Nicaragua
         Living in the local church's guest house.  Running a children's home for kids whose parents are working for 8+ months out of the year on cruise ships.  Helping with an AWANA club for said kids, and starting a youth group at the local church.  Who knows what else.

The take home message here...
We are going to Central America as missionaries through IM (International Ministries).


We have a fund set aside that we will be taking with us to use whenever we see a need!  
For example...
      if a family is in need of food, we'll pull from this fund to feed them for a time.
      if an orphanage needs shoes for their kids, we can fund that.
      if a family needs a new roof.

Also, if you would like to help fund our trip (there are many costs associated...) that would be so appreciated!
