 Here we are eating in Liberia in Costa Rica on the trip home. The two girls at the back of this table were from Belgium. They asked us for a ride at the border in Nicaragua, because they were going to San Jose also. They just graduated from college in Belgium, Emma in intellecutal property law, and Eline in economics. They were traveling in Latin America before returning to their country to begin their first employment after their education, Emma with a Brussels law firm and Eline with an insurance company. |

 Here Emma sings a Belgian goodbye song for us as she and Eline get off the bus. They enjoyed mixing in our culture as the Ticos sang in the back of the bus, as we joked on the bus PA, as we held worship. Michael, Larry and Lynn also engaged them in some very serious dialogue in the dark of the night on the long bus ride home about abortion, politics, creation and evolution, the war in Iraq, war in general, and, of course, Jesus and the gospel.
Even while resting on the bus from our Nicaraguan labors, we were still laboring for the gospel...we pray that the gospel seeds we planted with these very open, honest, bright and polite young ladies will take root someday...
