DUSITN AND ELLIE ON THE FERRY


On the way back from our mission trip to San Jose, Doug arranged for us to ride the Ferry on the Gulf of Nicoya. What an incredible ride. We saw so much of God's beauty!!!! You all would be so proud of Dustin and Ellie while on this trip. Ellie will be baptised here in Costa Rica with other nationals in the church that we are attending. We will be sure to video it so all can see this exciting moment in Ellie's life.

A PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRL


This little girl is from Cabellita and her mom is from Finland and her dad is Costa Rican. We met her parents and they were so warm and kind. They invited us one day into their home for lunch. They have a mission in Costa Rica as well.

SCHOOL CHILDREN OF CABELLITA


This was the second school that we went into while we were in Nicoya. Dustin was able to share his testimony with them as Michael translated it in Spanish. What a great moment because just one year ago, Mark Grumbles of the Operation -Go was translating for Michael.

CHILDREN OF SANTA RITA


These are some children that were attending school the day we showed Max Lucado's film about telling the truth. These kids are so open and hungry to hear the word of God.

ESTABLISHED CHURCH IN NICOYA


THIS IS EFRAIM'S CHURCH IN NICOYA. THE MISSION TEAM HELP TO START TWO MORE CHURCHES IN AND AROUND THIS PARTICULAR CHURCH BY SHOWING THE JESUS FILM TWICE IN TWO DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES.

CARLA, OUR FERVENT LEADER!!!


Everyone should be so proud of Carla Little who arranged this trip for the mission team. Carla is an incredible woman who loves the Lord with all her heart and has so much to give. She is with the pastor that we worked with named Efraim.

OUR NEXT "MAN OF PEACE"


This is Lisa, Michael's sister, and a little boy named David. He is the most incredible young boy that we have ever met. He just took to Lisa so well and he was so on fire for the Lord. We know the next time we go to Nicoya we will see him on the front row of the church serving in some capacity.

OUR MISSION LEADER!!!


This is Ellie and Doug Jett who is a fellow friend, former language student and fellow IMB missionary. Doug and David did an incredible job leading us on a mission for God.

ELLIE WITNESSING!!!


This is Ellie spending some time with this cute little boy with whom Ellie shared many gifts.

DUSTIN WITNESSING!!!!


Dustin spent time with this little boy playing soccer and sharing the Bible with him. We are so proud of Dustin. While we were on this trip, Dustin showed no fear as he went door to door speaking incredible Spanish.

NICOYA MISSION TEAM


As you can tell, the precious man and woman on the far left of the picture are the pastor and his wife. They are continuing on with two new church plants. Please continue to pray for them.

WOLLETT FAMILY ON MISSIONS


This picture is so precious to Michael and me because this the beginning of a family tradition started this year by Sybil and Lisa (Michael's aunt and sister). Hopefully, God willing, in years to come this picture will only get larger.
