Rebecca

My beautiful daughter, Rebecca, leaves for Costa Rica in the morning. Kedra and I will take her to the Indy airport in the morning. We will pick her back up in about 4 months. She returns sometime in mid December. Kedra can tell the day, the hour, and minute of her return.
 
It's going to be hard to say good-bye, but I've lived long enough to know that 4 months passes pretty quickly. We should be able communicate on a regular basis, via Skype, so it's all going to be fine.
 
I'm very excited for Rebecca. She is going to join about 30 other U.S. students from around the country for this adventure. Each student lives with a local Costa Rican family. One of the goals of the experience is learn Spanish and to learn it well. As a result of this semester of study in Costa Rica, Rebecca will graduate with a double major: Elementary Education and Spanish.
 
You might remember us in the prayer over the next couple of days.
