Walk in missions

Good Morning!
I have been having trouble with our blog and haven't been able to post pictures! Thank you for keeping us in prayer and for your faithful support of our ministry and daily need here as we minister in Costa Rica!
GOD has been good and much has been happening!
James is doing well in school, he continues his daily lessons in the Abeka program, we are so thankful for his home school!
When we moved to the mission field 14 years ago this wasn't much of a concern because our kids were little and didn't have a need of school. I homeschooled Mary off and on throughout the years we were in Language school then in Belize for 3 years. We were in the states for 9 months in 2003, our oldest son had a very bad accident and my Mother was very sick with cancer and died. So during this time in the states James went to preschool where I worked, then to Kindergarten. Mary was able to go to 4th grade for a few months and got some much needed basics that would help her during the rest of her studies!
Then we moved full time to Costa Rica with the vision to build a camp & Training center. We had lost a lot of the Spanish we'd learned in 2001, and our kids hadn't kept up the Spanish either. So we decided for them to have the language of the people we'd minister to we put them in the public school system. This was a wonderful place for them to spend the next 8 years! Mary & James are both completely bilingual with no accent. Mary was already in 4th grade by this time and it was very hard for her, thankfully GOD provided friends in our church to help her along the way and she is very determined to learn and do well! She graduated in December 2012 from high school, with a fraction of the kids who started out in high school. Many drop out but many got all the way tot he end and didn't pas the last tests to be able to graduate. But Mary did, we praise the LORD for that!
Now Mary has almost finished her first year in college, and is doing well! She was able to take the CLEP test for Spanish and was able to get 12 hours of college Spanish! She is majoring in Spanish education with minor in music, which has been a love of Mary's for her lifetime! She loves art and music, a GOD GIFT for sure!
Now James went to school until 7th grade when he went to high school it just didn't work for him,(they don't have middle school here) so looking for options to continue his studies my sister suggested we look into Abeka. It has been wonderful for James. He misses having friends, but we are thankful he is here at home under our supervision! Many of his friends are now not coming to church and want nothing to do with GOD, therefore causing a rift between them and James. He prays for their salvation and sees what they do and is sad that they don't choose JESUS!
GOD has a plan for each of us and we are thankful for the plan HE has shown us for our family and our children. Thank you for your continued prayers as we seek to serve JESUS and lead our family in GODLY ways, living out what we preach daily! JESUS bless you!


JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James
