We have bumps from bug bites (lots of them).
Bumps in the road. There are major potholes (Tiff says they are autobus caves) in Costa Rica. And just for the record when you're in the back of the bus and the driver is going 50 miles an hour and hitting a bump every minute....the ride is beyond rough. We are flying around in the seats. I have all kinds of bruises on my legs and knees to prove it. It's great memories though...so we're thankful for the memories.
And the biggest bump of today was having to say goodbye to a very sweet group of children that have stolen our hearts. We cried as we hugged their necks and got on the bus. It's amazing how quickly you can become attached.
Then you leave and the bump on our soul is forever there. We came to change lives for God's glory, but we quickly realized that we would be the ones whose lives would be forever changed. Costa Rica and two orphanages in the port city of Limon will forever be part of our God story.
And here's the reason they don't have mirrors in Costa Rica....we're looking kind of rough.
