my mother always said the older you get the quicker time flies!

Each trimester goes so fast. It's just unbelievable! Our year is measured in threes. Three trimesters in the year. We have three blocks of scheduling. Every four months new missionaries arrive. We begin the trimester with a group of students. We have graduation. More students arrive, some stay for their next trimester, and the cycle continues! It is so rapid. It is just mind-boggling!

So yet again we come to the end of another trimester. Some that graduate this Friday have been with us for eight months, one has been here only four months. They acclimate to Costa Rica, they learn the language, we say goodbye and watch for their Facebook posts how God is using them in their new field of service.

The last Spanish chapel of each trimester is a luncheon to basically have our last intimate time together over food! We give the staff an offering and give appreciation. It's always very special. I did something different this time. I made American cuisine! haha! not sure about the cuisine part but Sloppy Joes are American. I think they really liked it!
