Day
30: August 10, 2012
This
morning I got to go zip lining with the team. It was fun, but high adrenaline
activities are definitely not my favorite. So it was fun while it lasted but I
wasn’t disappointed when it ended either. But the forest was beautiful and the
guides were very nice. They were very informative about the forest and it was
cool to go and experience it.
After
zip lining we went to a small bar/restaurant in the mountains. It had good
typical food (of course consisting of rice and beans). Then we spent a very
long time in the bus trying to get to San Jose for souvenir shopping and a
worship service. Traffic was horrible and it took a lot longer than it should
have. We went souvenir shopping first but could only stay for a little while
because the lights in the building automatically shut off at 6:30 and everyone
had to be out before that. So we left and got to the church as quickly as
possible.
The
worship service was great and I will definitely miss the worship style here. It
is so free and people are not ashamed to openly express worship to God. That
may mean breaking into dance or it may mean kneeling on the floor in prayer. It
seems like in many churches in the US people are so concerned with what others
will think of them that they hold back from really worshipping God.
Four
more days left here in Costa Rica, but I am sure God is going to do great
things with them.
