We interviewed Christian, a member of the Costa Rica team this evening after two days work. In February 2007, the Costa Rica team began making plans to come to the US. They raised money in their congregation and applied for passports and US visas. In April they found out that half of the team were denied visas, but many of those denied still helped with fundraising for the rest of the team. Felipe paid for his and another member’s passport and visa, but both were denied.
Christian has been married for 3 ½ years and has a two year old daughter named Valeria. He is a high school music teacher and plays guitar and signs very well. He also plays drums and piano. He likes popular and contemporary Christian music. In the future he would like to have a musical group and express God’s love through music in different places. We enjoyed Christian’s talents this evening during devotions.
He wanted to come to the US because he thought it would be a very unique experience and opportunity, and has always had a desire to go help others. This was a good chance to help. He has enjoyed meeting new people, including the people from FUMC who gave him the opportunity to come her, and meeting the resident of the home where his team is working. His favorite job was laying the laminate wood floor.
