Finally Here

I arrived in Quepos last night after a bit of a rough trip. My friend Jasmine stepped up to the plate and took me to Chicago around mid-night on Monday. We made it there really fast and had about 4 hours to sleep and be board...I wasn't feeling too good before I left and the hour before I left I started feeling really bad. I texted Amber and she ended up calling me and praying for me, which really encouraged me. The plane ride was bad. The pressure made my ears hurt and I felt like my brain and sinus' were going to rot and explode. Luckily I took some tylenol pm before I got on the plane and it helped me to dose off a couple times and relax. In Ft. Lauderdale I caught my connecting flight and contemplated not getting on it and while on it I thought about not going. I did some intense praying and felt like God was telling me to go on to CR. My friend Bill called me while I was waiting. I had texted him and some others requesting prayer. It was good to hear his voice and encouragement. I was feeling like hell was upon me. I kinda feel like I am writing a book right now:0 Seriously I felt like I was being attacked from hell. I felt so deathly ill. While I was in the air on the way to CR I wrote some prayer and praise to God on my laptop and I completely felt His presence come over me and comfort me. I know it was a result of friends prayers and His love. I made it to CR ready to get through immigration and customs. Immigration to me is a bit of a joke. Probably because I was super impatient and ready to move on, but come on, it takes forever. Jared and Eileen picked me up, along with their newborn Noemi. We went to the Embassy so that they could get her passport in order to go visit family in the states. I am up at 4am right now typing away. I passed out last night around 9 and woke up hocking loogies:)
