Wow!  We have been busy in service Thursday and Friday... and luving it!  Having great experiences as we put the ministry 1st and see how Jehovah blesses us with the rest.  Logan was sooo excited for service today... Hot and humid but armed with his waterbottle....he was ready, even his great smile  :) 



Here is a copy of one local territory that Nate was given and we finished.  It was of the downtown Quepos area, a business territory.  The small numbers circled are English speaking people....(some spoke little English, but we could communicate just fine with them)




On another sheet the circled numbers are listed showing who had a previous interest there and the location.  Then we write in any comments there may be...like the literature we left




We talked with many different ones and invited them all to the Memorial of Christ Jesus on March 30th. Most people here recognize the importance of the Ransom, but we did find one that didn't even want to talk about the Bible at all...Kinda wish I would be around to see who attends....but looking forward to seeing all our family and friends. 




OK....Sooo guess who came around the corner while we were in service????  This is the perro (dog) that I was talking about earlier in our Blog...the one that I felt sooo much pain for and now want to take home... His back left leg is the one that is injured.  It still has a gouge in it, but it looks smaller and I have a way of dealing with things much better now.  I just pray for paradise to come and then we won't have to see things like this anymore. 


So, this is kinda funny....Some of the curbs are sooo high here that they have a step just to get on and off of them.  I had to take this picture...


Oh yeah...I forgot to show you the goodies I made.  A little home away from home.  I had to have them and the kids too....I heated up the house for Choc chip cookies and Lemon poppyseed muffins...Yum!

Today...Nate and the kids stayed in and worked on schoolwork and studying their watchtowers.  The kids were very tired and we let them sleep in...Getting up at 6am can be tiring in the hot sun all day.  But off I went in service.  We checked out another territory and I got the privledge of working with ones from Canada...Brittney and Robin, two pioneer sisters that are here for a few months.  They just got back from Beliz for two weeks helping out there and visiting their friends they met from two years ago.


Here is a copy of the map we had...We took a bus to Manuel Antonio and there we hiked and climbed all day...5 hours in the scorching hot sun, to be exact.  I experienced some of the biggist hills I've ever seen.  the west Hills have nothing on these...at least they felt like it!  My calfs were burning and sweat was pouring off me...I now thank Jehovah for my sweat glands...this was the only thing that was keeping me cool when a little breeze came by...
I know these pictures won't really show the hills we climbed but just imagine...down one and up another for one house and some of these houses are sooo big!





This house was HUGE!  It is a custom home that is under construction.  The family is from Canada and working on it....
The guys below were working on the High voltage here...what a sight to see...in shorts, sandles and no gloves.  I know what they should be wearing, since my bro...Alfie is one.


I couldn't leave out this cute guy...I saw him in passing looking for my next house


A high five and a picture of Robin and myself after accomplishing a whole territory in the ministry...WE DID IT ! ... and had Great Success


"Thanks Jehovah for your Holy Spirit and another great day in service!"

The kids and I are now at the cafe...they are eating and then we are heading over to the market to get some fresh produce...it's only on Friday night and Sat morning here...
Then back to our place to prepare for Saturday service and enjoy a quiet evening.  Our friends, the Barros are coming in town Saturday and we are going swimming after service and having dinner together.  Looking forward to our visit with them.  We will really miss them when we leave, they are here thru April.  I guess we will have to make a trip to Florida, where they are from.  Any excuse to travel.
Heading out to the market now.  Love you all and will hopefully post tomorrow.
