Costa Rica - Medical Mission

My wife Laura just left for Costa Rica. She is participating in a medical mission with a team from our church, Parkview Christian Church. They will be providing medical care to the poverty-stricken people in the surrounding area of Parkview's sister church, Centro Christo Alabanza. This is a trip that Laura has longed to be a part of since hearing of it - and I can't begin to describe how proud I am of her! She has been given the opportunity to use her professional skills as a ministry to those much less fortunate than we are. And although medical missions is a passion that has hidden itself within her for some time, I am convinced that our pursuit of adoption has contributed to shaping her heart even further in this area. I am sure that she will return a changed person - someone I will continue to fall deeper in love with every day. Leaving me and the boys proved a difficult task, but in the long run, we will all be better people because of her sacrifice. Isn't she amazing?
