Mi Amigas!


The ticos love to play futbol! 

Dago was so helpful helping me get ready for my first time ever going zip lining! I don't know what I would have done without him. 


Randal is an amazing guy who has a great sense of humor. He is always smiling and is willing to lend a helping hand at any time. Skateboarding is a large part of his life and he now is involved in a skate ministry with the local boys in the community. 

Chris (third one in) on the last night with his new friends :) 

Tito and I share the same passion for music, and I had a great time joking around him with him. I also had the amazing experience to share my testimony with him and the youth group. He helped me find the strength I needed to share it, and was there for me the entire time. 

David was the translator/worship leader who lives in the Harvest Hands house. Him and I were grouped up together most of the week. I miss David so much! One of my favorite memories of Costa Rica was when he was trying to teach me Spanish and I kept messing up yet continued trying and he thought it was the funniest thing :) 

Kevin & I met for the first time this year, and we now are close friends. Even though we are miles apart I talk to Kevin almost every single day on facebook. He stayed with my group the entire time, and though he is quite always was the first to lead.  He has a great heart that is full of compassion for the people of Los Anonos. Through his own life stories I learned so much. Kevin is like a brother to me, and I can not wait to return to see him again!

Natalie is my twin! Don't we look alike? :) I love her! She is getting married this December to a guy I grew up with in Maine. Stephen did an internship in Costa Rica where he met Natalie, now they are working on settling in down in the States!

Washington vs. Whittier middle School

             The girls were anxious to begin the trip, but now as the first night comes to a close it's widely known that everyone is exhausted.  Red in the face (from the sun of course), grumpy by all mean and just plain tired.  Getting accustomed to a new area is always difficult, but with the humid heat and little experience in the area, maps of all colors became our new best friend.  Water bottles in hand, pins hanging from all the girls necks and the race was on.  Here at NHD boys and girls all over the world find common ground very quickly when it comes first to their passion of history and second get as many new pins from as many new places as possible.  Kids literally sigh when they realize the state you're from is already shown on their cord.               The speaker was amazing; a former NHD contestant herself she knew the drills; from research to traveling tips.  Ye...

Hello again! Long time no talk?

             Updating my blog often is not as habitual as I would like, however here I am given a quick catch up.  On June 8th, 2014 I graduated from Poland Regional High school and let me just say it was quite a relief to finally be done these last four years.  It was like that of a marathon, the last leg of the race that seemed to continue on forever. I'd been impatient with life for who knew where I was going, or where the heck I'd even end up.  The last month of high school was one of the most challenging, but with a few close friends tightly by my side I made it through.             "Don't wish away high school, when you're finished you'll want to go back. Experience it all."  Advice I heard continuously from elders, much wiser for a reason.  Yet as I finished my last real day of high school emotions ran high.  Four years of ups and downs, highs and lows that seemed to feel like a r...

Costa Rica

 In February of 2012 I had an amazing opportunity to travel to Los Anonos, Costa Rica for my first mission trip.  God changed my heart here.  For 10 days a group of us from the Mechanic Falls Vineyard traveled done to love on those in the community. Together a lot was achieved. Hand in hang with the youth there we held an eye glass clinic in Jasmine (my personal favorite part of the trip) & also the males from our group went and played futbol with men in a rehab program.  In addition we were involved in prayer walks, youth group and the regular Sunday service. I love everything about the Latin America culture. God's spirit flowed through this community, it was so peaceful unlike any other place I had ever been. My heart truly longs to be back in Costa Rica with these people whom I connected so well with.  Here are just a few pictures of the views and houses of people.
