Local outreach seriously keeps getting better and better! On Wednesday this week, we went to downtown San Jose with a ukulele and some songs and set up on the streets to play. We were kicked out of our first location, but moved onto the street and while doing so met some awesome people! Three young adults that were studying English at a local Institute came up and asked if they could practice their English with us. We spent the next couple hours hanging out with them and met a couple of other people as well. I’m so excited because they live close by, so we are going to be able to hang out with them a ton more!
On Saturday, we went to Metro Ministries again. This time, our team did most of the lesson so we had to practice our Spanish a little! My lesson was on “Little Miss Costa Rica” and our main point was that the power of our words can bring life or death. They can totally change the situations we are in. It was fun to put the crown and sash on one of the little girls, although I think she was a bit shy about it. It’s also so awesome because I get to see the same children every week and I have a nice following of little girls now. They are so precious and it’s awesome that I get to keep building up these relationships with them. Scott, the director of the ministry, says that the kids from the area that we work in are the smallest amount of kids he works with throughout the week, but also the most faithful to come to the program and the poorest. I know that by the time our three months is up here, I’m not going to want to leave them.
