Costa Rica: Final thoughts

These pictures sum up the trip better than any words could.
Juana 101- she was blind, deaf, and 101 years old
 Lily and Alvaro. These two got married at the nursing home 5 years ago. They were so cute. They would always be sitting outside with their chairs pulled close together.
Our team.

It was awesome to be able to go out and be the hands of Jesus. It was a service trip, not a missions trip, but it gave me a little taste for what medical missions would be like. It was overwhelming and frustrating at times, but it was also very rewarding. We helped people who needed it, even if it was only for a short time. My professor told us to focus on what we did, not on what was still left to do. The hope is that others will come along and continue the work.
