From Karen

We had a lot of fun today.  This morning we learned how to make coffee.  Kore and Beverly were very excited!  Then our new friend, Alfredo, took us on an adventure to see some oxen.  He yoked the oxen together and hooked up a cart and took us for a ride.  Later in the afternoon we put on a carnival for the children in a nearby neighborhood.  We had so much fun teaching them songs, dancing, and sharing the gospel with them.  We missed the typical 4th of July celebrations but we did get to have a Costa Rican "cook-out" with hamburgers.  We are so thankful to God for the amazing time that we are having here this week and all the new friends that we are making.
