Sister Sister

Hi friends!!!! It’s Allison and Lindsey Whitmeyer! We are twin sisters and we both just graduated from Highland Park High School! Allison is going to the University of Oklahoma and Lindsey will be going to Texas A&M University. This is our second week in Costa Rica and we have absolutely loved being here! This has definitely been one of our favorite mission trips!!!! Today was our first day of work for the second week. I (Allison) was at the big worksite and I helped lay bricks for the foundation of the clinics. I (Lindsey) was on one of the two smaller worksites! I helped make concrete to make the flooring of a new church and I also poured dirt for the foundation of their stage. We are so happy with all the new kids that have come in for the second week! They are amazing and have such positive attitudes! Another favorite part of our trip is worship at night! Worship is such a great experience to come together with everyone on the trip. Our worship leader, Andrew Beard, is literally the most AMAZING person ever. He didn’t tell us to say that at all. J. Tonight, Tova gave a sermon about humility and how we are accustomed to placing people in certain “ranks”. We tend to think about ourselves instead of other individuals. Another great part of Costa Rica is being able to be self-reflective. We have so much time to build relationships and also learn more about ourselves. With college around the corner, these messages and moments have helped tremendously by giving a stable foundation of our faith before we leave. THE FOOD IS AWESOME. I just had to put that out there. RICE AND BEANS. YUMMMMMYYYY!!!!!! No one is going hungry. Trust us. We hope this message finds you well and we hope that Dallas (or wherever you may be at this moment) is wonderful! We can’t wait to see y’all and tell you about all of our adventures. We love you! And give someone a hug. It might change their life. J

LOVE LOVE LOVE,

Allison & Lindsey Whitmeyer

P.S. Hey Mom and Dad!!!! I (Allison) fell off a cement brick today. I’m okay. Just an interesting fact that I thought y’all should know about. Hey! (It’s Lindsey) I miss y’all bunches and love y’all! I’m having a blast (if you couldn’t tell) and Allison is clumsy.
