Graduation is such a wonderful time at CINCEL! They come! They go! The purpose of Cincel is to teach language skills, learn to read culture and keep your Spirit life alive. Some missionaries come for 8 months and some for 1 year. When they come it is a time of huge adjustment. Adjusting to Cincel life and community, adjusting to classroom learning, adjusting to not having a personal vehicle and using Buses and Taxis, adjusting to new food and cooking differently. The children have to adjust, the lack of personal family members like grama and cousins, adjusting to their new school, and so much more.
Once the adjustment is complete, it's time to leave and adjust yet again. Adjust to their country of service with all the many different things, different from America and different from Costa Rica. What a life!
Graduation brings many tears and many smiles. Hopefully more smiles than tears!
