Costa Ricans think of their country as "el puente", or "the bridge" between North and South America.  The Spanish Language Institute in San José, Costa Rica, is a bridge for missionaries on their way to the Spanish-speaking communities where they are preparing to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, the bridge between God and his people.  Our desire is that this newsletter serve as a bridge between the Institute and those who send and support our students.  For further information, please write Grettel Pérez, Spanish Language Institute,
