Luis Carlos

Grew up. He turned 21 today. This pic was taken in '04. Today he is still the original captain of the premier soccer team in La Carpio. A true champion in life.

That Great Day

One of the cool things about this ministry is that some days you get to see old friends reunited. Some of these reunions are miraculous. Perhaps a small glimpse of what's to come.

Los Chamacos Cantores de La Carpio

Made a special appearance at the language school. Earlier this week they played in San Carlos. Next month they have a wedding gig.

Epic

Lalo de La Carpio is back from an epic adventure. More to come soon...

Keeping a Secret

I can tell you. In two weeks we will be taking a small youth group from La Carpio on our first ever mission trip. Everything is coming together. Praise God for this opportunity! We're super excited. I feel like I could fly.

Just a few years ago

Paul (center) served in LC in the Fall of '04. The work done then helped pave the way for what we do now. This week he returned for a visit. Friendships made when he was here still transcend to this day. One of God's original wild men in La Carpio.

Blue Skies, Red Dirt, a Thousand Shades of Green

And one of these. Lalo de La Carpio is back. This was my view on the way back from the airport. It was like a greeting from above.

Making Good

I promised the kids I would post "the #1 sports story of the year" this year. Here it is. Their accomplishment was great. They have the hearts of champions. Now, look into the future. The younger kids in the background during the medal presentation will soon be part of it. Pure sport. They are the core of our little league team. Some of them will be playing together with their older brothers and cousins. Potential and momentum, dreams and desire. Eventually on one team. Together their time is coming. Again...

Christmas Break

Lalo de La Carpio is relaxing, spending time with family and eating cheese. Merry Christmas and be sure to check back early next year.

Inter wins again 3-1!

Last game of the year. Traditional rivals. Winning streak. Good flavor to savor until next year.

Festival de la Luz

Annual night time parade in downtown San Jose. With special permission we were able to park right behind the television trucks. From the top of the micro bus we had an outstanding view. A friend of mine shot this (from another vantage point).
