Since my Blog became my “Journal” in 2014, even before I moved to Costa Rica, I will let my blog posts tell the story of this mission trip of senior adults from First Baptist Church Nashville to the Hogar de Vida children’s home right here in Atenas, Costa Rica.

As a former member and leader in senior adult activities in Nashville First Baptist I became the de facto host outside the children’s home. And maybe, as some said, they partly came so they could see and visit with me, but whatever, it was a great week of ministry and service at the children’s home with a day of tourism in nearby Jaco Beach!

Here’s the blog post links for that week. Go to each one individually to get the full picture of our week at Hogar de Vida:
