SO I AM SO EXCITED I finally heard from the family I knew @ Drake Bay Wilderness Camp Resort in Osa Peninsula . "Little Adrian" as i thought of him back in 1991 sent me these emails a few days ago (November 2015) giving me an update on how the family is. Sadly, his father, Herb, passed away in 2009. He was an American man who married a younger Costa Rican lady, and they owned the camp together, and had three kids: Bryan, Adrian, & Dyanne. Bryan & Adrian were in 2nd & 3rd grade at the time in 1991. Most importantly, Adrian knows Jesus Christ as Savior and so does his mom and Bryan, and he says that Herb accepted Jesus Christ before he died! And they have hope for their sister as well. So here's what he had to say. Please keep them in your thoughts & prayers.

"Hello Frank,
This is Herbert and Marleny's son, Adrian. Herbert passed away on the 27th of March, 2009. He had heart problems. Marleny is still here at the hotel running things and I am here with her.
We have been doing very well thank God. The years after my dad passed away were not easy and the slow down in the economy made things more difficult, but everything have turned out great. We have been steadily making improvements to the hotel and we have been blessed in many many other ways.
How did you get to know my dad and mom?
Have a Good Day,
Adrian Michaud"

Hello Frank,
Thank you for sharing the picture! That is my brother Bryan on the far right, skinny me in the middle, my sister Dyanne on the left and my three cousins in the back. What is the name of the teacher that gave you the picture?
Oh yes, I do call them mom and dad :) It was definitely hard when my dad passed away, but I am not sad. He accepted Jesus as his savior before he died and the way it all came about was completely from Jesus. My mom, my brother and myself are in Jesus' hands and depend on Him as our savior. As for my sister, I believe it is only a matter of time, God's time. God has definitely done something great in our lives and continues to do so.
I am glad you guys have such great memories of your stay with us. We don't have a newsletter, but if you have Facebook we would love to keep up with you through it. We also have a Facebook page for the hotel where we periodically post pictures.
God bless you and your family,
Adrian
