The Goshorns Au gu st 2 01 3
Over half way there! We’ve finished our 2nd trimester and it went very well. We said goodbye to some great missionary friends who finished language school and have headed to their fields of service. Our final trimester started on September 9th and graduation is December 13th. We’ll head back to the states and spend Christmas with Jennifer’s mom in New York. The Mission Society will have a Global Gathering in Florida that we are required to attend in January. and have some final training. Then we will have the daunting task of figuring out what to take with us to Peru for the years to come. Peruvians are small in stature, so we’ll need to take a lot of cloths and footwear for the men in the family to last a while. The church we attend here in Costa Rica is small, but very much alive. Daniel has started playing with the praise band and we can’t begin to tell you how blessed we are by this church. This is the church that has the feeding program for kids at the barrio we go to on Saturdays. We truly enjoy going to the barrio, it is a great place to practice Spanish and share the love of Christ. Jennifer and Katherine have also started to help prepare the food on Saturday mornings. This is a great education on not wasting food and cooking for quantity. Most of you know about Kendall, the little boy from the barrio that was hit by a car, he had to have some skin grafts, but by the grace of God he’s doing well and is back in church. Our kids are all doing great. The other day we arrived home late and Katherine said “it sure feels good to be home”. This was great to hear especially since she struggled a little the first few months we were here. The Lord has truly blessed us.

NEEDS
We’ll be in need of a vehicle during the time in the States.
We would love to fill some dates meeting with people & groups to discuss working together in Peru.
We need to raise our monthly support.
Continued prayers
“God created us, breathed life into us, and purposed us for his glory. The grace and mercy he gives warrants our love and obedience. In response, we boldly proclaim his greatness.”
