Who's your favorite disciple?

I bet who's your favorite disciple is a question you haven't thought of a lot is it? That was the topic of conversation for the language class today. I think two people said Peter, one said John and I said Matthew. I said Matthew because Matthew was a tax collector and I enjoy doing jobs like that. Also Matthew wrote a book which I would like to do someday as well. For this point the teacher emphasized to me not to say in the future but to do it now. She said so many times we say I'll do it in the future but the future never comes because you keep saying in the future.

I said I don't know if Matthew had a family or not but he had a family in the family of God. I like Matthew because when Jesus said come follow me, thats what he did. There wasn't any hesitation on Matthew's part. He said okay and he went. I would think that is a picture of the obedience which God wants from each one of us.

When I'm answering these questions in Spanish my main thing is to keep it simple. But how many times do we make things more difficult than what they should be. Everyone says that the Gospel is simple. When you think about it, it is simple, just believe in God and trust Him. Just something for you to think about...My question for you is Who is your favorite disciple? Look in Matthew 10:2-4 for a listing of the 12 disciples.

Peaceful pictures

These are two peaceful looking pictures which I took on the beach trip....

Entertained by a band

As a part of the beach trip day we were entertained by a band, a group of 3 men on the boat to the island during the meal on the island. One man played a drum, one the guitar and one the instrument in the picture above. It was just some type of metal cylinder with foam inside and a fork type instrument. It was something so different from what I had seen that I just thought it was interesting. And no right now I don't remember the name of it.

Photos around Costa Rica

These are just some photos which I took around Costa Rica.

A crab

Just thought you might enjoy seeing this picture of a crab from the beach.

Just having fun

On the way to the Island we stopped at a place for breakfast. There was a really pretty view from the restaurant even though the clouds were still out and it was a little overcast.

Tortuga Island

This past Saturday I, along with other students, took a trip to Tortuga Island as one of the trips offered by the school. We left the school at 6 am and returned home around 9 pm. It was a long day but it was good day of sitting on the beach for a couple of hours and just relaxing.
