Farewell from Killian....

This summer has gone by faster than I could have ever expected and I am saddened by the fact that I am going home in just a few short days. Coming here two months ago, I had no idea what to expect, but I have met wonderful people, made amazing friends, and worked on some incredible projects.

In the past two months, I have met many people that have all contributed to my experience here in Costa Rica. I met people from various states in the US that I would never have had the chance to encounter. Each of them have shown me how much people across our country care about helping those in need.

Of these people I have met, I have made some incredible friends. Spending two months in a foreign country with someone really helps form a special bond. The other interns and I have become closer than I ever would have imagined, but I guess that’s what happens when you spend almost every waking moment together. We have laughed together more than anything and I cannot picture it being any other way. I have also formed wonderful friendships with the full time staff here and it saddens me that I don’t know when I will see them again.

I have helped work on three amazing projects this summer--Oscar’s house, the Pentecostal Church, and the Methodist Church. The groups have done amazing work this summer! I am sad that I am not going to be around to see any of these projects finished, but I know the groups that come after I leave will do a great job finishing them.

I wish everyone at Strong Missions luck in the years to come and hope that many groups find their way to Costa Rica to help carry out their wonderful mission.
-Killian
