Why the title?

In thinking about what we should call the blog, I (Katie) asked a few people for suggestions. The votes were pretty much split between "Pura Vida" and "La Vida Rica." I liked them both some much and couldn't decide! So I didn't - I used both :) "Pura Vida" is a phrase commonly used in Costa Rica and the surrounding area that translates to pure life. What a great way to describe Elder Willis's current adventure! He has dedicated himself to serve God and His children in Costa Rica for the next two years with pure motives and such a selfless attitude. The second suggestion translates to the rich life. This is also fitting because he has been called to serve in a place with rich culture and heritage and some of THE BEST food and scenery in the world. Or maybe we're just biased because we're so excited for and jealous of him ;)
