Friday our driver picked us up in Cariari for the drive back to San Jose.  Once we got to the city, we spent a few hours at the downtown market, and wandering around the downtown area.  

After that, we checked in at our airport hotel and made use of the pool.  Then it was a team supper followed by our final team meeting.

Early morning flight to Denver, then connecting on in to Calgary.

Thankful that everyone arrived home safe and sound.

Thanks for tracking with us, and for praying for our team and the ministries we were involved with while in Costa Rica.  We are grateful to be able to serve, and are grateful for all God did in us and through us over the last few weeks.

Missing 5 team members in the Calgary airport, but a fun picture upon arriving home.  😀

Last day working out at the property and we had a great day.  We were able to get pretty much everything done that we came to do and worked right to the finish line.

A few more hamper deliveries in the morning.

 

The adult Sunday School room was completely finished - it looks great, and they are SO happy with how it turned out.

The gutter crew made great progress on some challenging work spots.

We even got 1 of the 2 soccer nets welded together.  This was in the plans, but they bumped it down the priority list at the start of the week.  So we were happy to get at least 1 completed.  They have the material cut for the other one, so all they have to do is weld it together.

Over lunch we took time to pray for the family and encourage them - and they spoke words of encouragement to our team, and also presented each of us with a small handmade gift.

After lunch, for anyone who wanted, there was a short field trip to see some of Gerson's fields with their crops.

And of course, some random pictures from our day.....

Lorry the family parrot

And of course, some wildlife on the property as well.

Sid the Sloth, just napping in a tree 20 feet from the kitchen.......how can he even sleep like that???

Some fun on their dirt bikes

A team picture (minus Darcy and Lisa) on our last day in Cariari.  So great to be here.  😀

Our driver comes tomorrow morning at 8am for the drive back to San Jose.  

Another great day of work today.

Sewing project with ladies from the community again this morning. 

More work done on the gutter project

More work done on the water project, including filling in some of the trenches!!  YAY!

Editor's note: I see how it is......  😂

Lots more great progress made on the adult Sunday School room.

Of course there was time for relationships.....

And enjoying the beauty of our surroundings right on the property.

Look closely for our other friend up in the tree.
