2007-2008 – Costar Rica – Language School

Our next stop is the Institute of Spanish Language in San Jose, Costa Rica. We will be there for eight months of language school. We stay with a family that does not speak English to help us learn as quickly as possible to speak Spanish. We are some of the oldest students attending the program. Perry is 55 and Nancy is 50. We are learning our third language.

During our time at the language school, we are able to travel to Lima, Peru for the Jibacam Congress. A unique feature is the hotel where we stay. Because of confusion over dates the church has to arrange for rooms at a pay by the hour hotel. A number of the workers hear the gospel and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

Jessica is able to join us for Christmas and we enjoy touring a bit of Costa Rica.

Our friends Teri and Norbert join us and we are able to visit other parts of Costa Rica.

In April we finally receive our student visas just days before our graduation. We successfully completed the program and graduate. The next stop is Panama.
