Last Sunday



My last Sunday here in Costa Rica was a blast. I had the chance to to teach, baptize a man, and watch a couple guys in the program put on boxing gloves and fight for fun. The man in the program is named Robert. He has a great story and lived a crazy life before coming here. He is 60 years old and grew up knowing nothing but gangs, drugs and he was also raised to believe in Buddism. He came to believe in Christ about a month ago and he just recently asked if he could be baptized. He confessed his sins and he confessed his belief in Jesus Christ, then we dunked him! We allow the guys to box every now and then for fun and it usually draws a ton of attention. A couple other guys stole the show....a real fight broke out about 30 yds down the beach. My last day at the beach was a memorable one.
