Up early and final packing. Alex from the congregation came over at 7:45am to pickup some things that we were leaving to ones in the Spanish congregation that were in need. We had rice, beans, oil, soap, some dishes and other things that we had bought while here. We were glad to pass them on to ones that really need them. We then left a couple of things to our neighbors, Josh and Andra and the Barro family.
It felt kinda wierd being surrounded by everyone in service attire. Today would have been our normal service day and I felt sad not not joining them.
But it was time to get on the road...our ride arrived at 9am...we loaded up, picked up the Corona's and said good bye to Quepos for now...
This was the new highway that was just finished 1 month ago. What use to take almost 2 hours on a windy dirt road now only takes 30mins.... Everyone loves the new highway!
We stopped along the way for a potty break and to get snack to eat. Yummy empanadas filled with black beans. We took a picture of the hard working chefs and back onto the road for our arrival to our condo in San Jose... "Villas Cariari"
The grounds are beautiful here and we checked into our 2 bdrm unit for the night with Chaba and Ang. We headed off to the mall to get a bite to eat and we saw the first McDonalds in a long time...but we didn't eat there even though that's what Logan really wanted.
We had lots of options at the food court in the mall and everone ate what sounded good to them. Anything from Sushi to Chicken
We found this Pharmacy in the mall and it was great! We picked up some things that we wanted and Nate got some great foot medicine that he needed. He was so happy here that we took his picture. There's still hope for him...haha. Oh ya, I picked up what is a prescription in the US for Erika as just an over the counter medication here and the price differance was incredible! A $298.00 bottle in the US was under $40.00 here. I guess it all comes down to GREED.
We looked around and Elesia tried some things on. She was having too much fun...
Miss 'Proper' here!
We headed back to our room. The scenery was pretty and the weather was perfect. NO Humidity! and a cool breeze. Enjoying every bit of it...while we wind down and get ready for our 3:30am pickup for the airport
As we sit and meditate on our wonderful trip and how we got here we remember that we are helping in fullfilling the prophecy at...
Matthew 24:14 And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
I've realized that sometimes we need to step out of our comfort zone, take a leap of faith and let Jehovah guide us...and then we will experience 'the blessing of Jehovah—that is what makes rich, and he adds no pain with it' Proverbs 10:22
