Our Costa Rican Connection... at UBL

The lush green campus of  UBL.  

Our "CURTAINS FOR CERTAIN" (covering windows in the dorm- atory) fundraising was so successful there was money left over to be used for "covering" other important and necessary needs at the Latin America Bible University.  (UBL) 

In a country where rain is often a daily occurance, this tool is an essential for the vegetation can get away from the gardeners. The cost of the "Grass Trimmer" was $105.     

Margie has a few new jobs this time back and one of those is teaching several classes of English.   She has quite a schedule in addition to helping individual students with proof-reading their papers before they turn them in for scoring.   By the way ... skye and Facetime allows her to do that with individuals all year long regardless where the student lives or the where the teacher is.   Thanks for keeping us connected.  

Here's a word (or two) from our Missionary in Costa Rica...

Because of your generosity, there was enough money given to not only purchase the fabric to finish the curtain project (which will happen when the volunteer Nancy arrives here again to do the sewing, thus matching the other curtains she made and are already hanging!) but also purchase this new lawn cutting machine for the UBL (the old one had broken and it would cost more to fix it than to buy a new one!).  Our administrator asked me for "consent" to use some of the $ for this purpose!! Also we have set aside $500.00 in a scholarship fund from our contribution to pay for the airfare for a student who will be returning from Peru to complete his thesis and degree in Bible.  So...you can all see that our FUMC gift is going a LLOOOOOONG way!  Hallelujah, and thanks so much from both ME and the UBL!  I continue to be so very grateful for BOTH of my families!!!

Would you please be so kind as to share this info with ALL the NIM team and any others who might like the news!  Much love to each and all.  God is good, all the time!!
