Last week was a great time getting to hosting some awesome people from my home church as well as two individuals from the other side of the country. I was very thankful for the opportunity to share with my church family all that they have been a part of over these last three years. Though the highlight was definitely just getting to spend time with my brothers. Since both of them joined our family long after I had moved out, I haven't had the opportunity to just hangout with them and build our relationships as much as I'd like to. (Living in a foreign country and them being teenage boys makes this exceptionally difficult.) We had a great time experiencing Costa Rica together and growing our relationships, even though the time was short. I mean, what teenage boy wouldn't think I was the greatest sister when he gets to come over to my house and eat a whole batch of cookies and brownies!

The boys had great attitudes and open minds for taking in all the new experiences of Costa Rica. Gerry wasn't deterred from making the most of the experience even when he broke his ankle on the second to last day :( He still somehow managed to accompany me, on his crutches, for a long walk at the beach the next day! This week was a special time that will continue to grow our relationship even though they're back in the States.
