Well, we made it to our last day of work and the slow realization that our week here in San Isidro is coming to a close.  We started with our usual awesome breakfast made by the amazing ladies in the kitchen (more about them at the end).  After breakfast, Wil gave us a tour of the new Counseling Center and offices.  They are beautiful and we know God is going to do great things through Wil, Yolanda & Priscilla. 

We then proceeded to our work sites where we finished up the projects we have been working on this week.  It's amazing what can happen when 19 strangers come together and work towards a common goal.  We are thrilled that we could be a small part of the new Daycare Office and the other projects that we worked on. 

We finished early today which was a nice treat, had lunch and then went into town to the local Farmer's Market.  We saw some produce that was new to many of us and had some great local coffee.  Some of us purchased souvenirs while others brought home some produce.  From there we walked back to POPS for ice cream.  It was so good Wednesday night that we couldn't resist a return visit today. 

Dinner tonight was pork, plantains with cheese, potato salad, chips and some of the best guacamole ever (Thank You Jessica).  After dinner Wil treated us to songs while playing his guitar and then we partook in Holy Communion.  It was a great end to our week here at the Missions & Ministry Center.  Tomorrow we are off to Manuel Antonio National Park.

Today we want to shine a spotlight on our fantastic kitchen staff! They've taken great care of this week, and we're so thankful for the kindness and hospitality they've shown.

Fanny is the lead cook who has been at the Missions & Ministry Center from day 1.  She is a super sweet lady with some great culinary skills. 

Noemy is also an awesome lady, great cook and the mother of Johan who we highlighted yesterday. 

Felicia is on staff, always has a smile on her face and will do anything we ask for. 

Jessica is constantly smiling, always looking around to see what else we need and makes some killer guacamole. 

Alejandra not only helps out in the kitchen, but she also helps translate and is one of the 4 ladies who live on the grounds as college students.  The Missions & Ministry Center helps up to 4 young women at a time by providing room and board as a help up in their pursuit of college degrees.
