It seems like it was only yesterday that I walked up the hill to catch the bus for the last time. The Lord has taught me so much after being back. It has been 2 months since I left Costa Rica. It was such a rich sweet time. The Lord provided in SO many ways. From the moment I stepped off the plane to the day I left the Lord provided. Lalo helped me so much, more than he will ever know. Not only that, but he taught me so much with his wise deep thoughts on our way to my house from La Carpio. Those kids have stolen a piece of my heart and I will never forget what it feels like to walk off of the bus and into La Carpio and see the kids running to greet me yelling "Hola Briyi!" The way they said my name 
is so sweet and I miss it.
is so sweet and I miss it. Tonight we were talking about how the Lord had compassion for the widow who just lost her only son and when he saw her "his heart went out to her." We talked about what breaks our hearts and who do we have compassion for. I was reminded of the kids from La Carpio. My heart breaks for them. I love them so much, and thinking of that reminded me of how much more the father loves them. They are precious jewels. I am so thankful that I even got to spend a short time with them.
