Pavas, Costa Rica holds a special place in my heart and I was so blessed to have the opportunity to serve with @hope_partners . I learned that the brightest lights can come from the darkest places and I saw that in the joyful smiles of children in Pavas. This trip not only further rooted my faith in Christ but also gave me a new prospective on all the blessings I have. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” -John 1:5
