Hello to anybody out there who is reading, this is Matthew S Mayer, Happy New Year! With the new year comes new adventures and that means I am going to Costa Rica in March with Change Point Student Ministries. Last year I went to Texas and Mexico and was excited to work with kids through vacation Bible school. I got to talk with parents of the students that came and speak in Spanish as one of the two translators for the team. This made the parents more comfortable with the team, speaking to them in their own language. I have been in Spanish Immersion since kindergarten and am mostly fluent in Spanish. It was a great experience to see how I could handle conversations with native speakers. I look forward to doing the same in Costa Rica this year. We will be working with a school teaching the kids their English as well as staying with host families. This will bring on a host of new challenges and experiences. If you would like to help you can in one of two ways. You can A - pray, prayer support is always appreciated and needed during things like this. You can also B - give financially to help fund my trip. All funds given go to my ticket and expenses for this trip, you can give on the page below. Thank you for your support, Matthew S. Mayer
