CCU Baseball: Costa Rica

Day 2:

Given the way things went yesterday, anything would be an improvement from what we went through.  That being said, we started our morning at 4:00 AM after staying in a hotel the airport booked us in after our two flights got cancelled.  Because booking flights for 25 people is no easy task, we were forced to take seperate flights in order to get to San Jose.  We departed from DIA at 7:30 and arrived in DFW at 11:00.  At this point, our team divided into two groups.  The first group stayed in DFW for six hours and flew straight to San Jose, while the second group flew into Miami International Airport and connected to San Jose soon after.  After two days in and out of the numerous airports we visited, we finally reached Costa Rica.  Customs didn't take long at all, and after a few more short hours, we made it to our resort.

One thing that impressed me more than anything was the positive attitude we maintained throughout the entire ordeal.  We obviously suffered through less than ideal travelling conditions, yet we were able to keep a joyful spirit as a team.  I have no doubt that God was prepping us for what is to come on the following days of our trip.  Even as I write this, as a collective team, we are all exhausted after running on low amounts of sleep and numerous flights.  Tomorrow will have its challenges, but we're ready to meet them head on and begin serving the community.

Tomorrow, we start our missions work as we are hosting a baseball camp for teenagers in the area.  This will be the first service project we've done on the trip, and I'm excited to see how God will work through it all.  I'll start posting pictures of the sights we experience tomorrow.

In Christ,

Christian Garcia, CCU Baseball
