News letter from Costa Rica

January 2010

Good afternoon I trust this note finds you doing well! I hope you had a very good New Year and that your resolutions were doable. Mine is a simple one this year, to just keep on going everyday, to take life as it comes and deal with one problem at a time. We had 3 different groups for Jan 2010 I am attaching pics of only 2 though. I don't have pics of the Ladies group from the World Missionary Movement (M.M.M.) About 60 ladies who took almost all our flowering plants, and all our Limes, Lemons and Oranges. But, they really enjoyed themselves!!! We also had Sister Norma's group from San Jose, a group of Baptist youth. I am always happy to have them a very nice church and well mannered people. Also, we had a group of visiting missionaries from the central US, who came to help a local Church in some construction, they also brought gifts to the children of the Church (items for school and such). A mixed group of both men and women, none were afraid to get their hands dirty. They also worked with the children and visited some of the local churches. It was a blessing for me to have them here, for I was able to speak English for a change. We also had a big eruption from our close by Volcano Turrialba, look it up on the Internet if you would like, lots of info. I request you prayers for myself and the ministry here, I am afraid it is going to be a tough year. God bless you Ivey Overstreet Missionary, Costa Rica
