Over the past few days the 2010/11 Interns have met together to learn to work as a team better, practice a little Spanish and pray in preparation for their month long trip to Costa Rica.
Each day we have started with a devotionals (so far: challenging us to loves or enemies, step out in faith, taking time to talk with God), then had a Spanish lessons and team building activities. The team has worked great together and have really enjoyed learning four-square, which was a popular activity at Campamento Roblealto last year when the 2009/10 Interns traveled there.
We have also had a few prayer sessions. We are specifically praying that God would prepare us to be used by Him. I encourage anyone reading this blog to be praying that pray over the next few weeks. Also be praying for our health and safety. A couple of team members have coughs and colds, and one has not been able to join us yet due to illness. We hope he will be well enough to join us tomorrow.
Last night we tried having a meal where English wasn't allowed. It worked fairly well, though I assume that people fluent in Spanish would have had a pretty good laugh.
Today we are working on Skits and Games that we can teach, if asked, while we are down there and confirming our plans for tomorrow.
Once we are in Costa Rica we hope to have several posts a week from a number of different interns and leaders. Please check this blog regularly to see how we are doing.
Adios,
Allan (on behalf of the Intern Team)
