Hi everyone!
Tuesday nights meeting was sooo encouraging.  We got to hear all the friends comment and then meet some wonderful people from a lot of different places...like Canada, Texas, Florida, California, Virginia, Tennessee and more... I'm still just amazed that I went to the Kingdom Hall with my study material from Portland, OR and was able to jump right into the meeting here in Quepos, Costa Rica with no problem.  I'm really apppreciating how Jehovah is an organized God .(cause I know I'm not!!! haha) and His people are united even if we speak different languages.  I've met some wonderful Spanish people that I could only communicate a little with, but the Hugs and kisses said it all and I knew that we had the best thing in common and that was we all love Jehovah and I can't wait till the day that we can all speak one language again.
Here is a couple of pics from last nights meeting and my new amiga, Carmen. 


She is a great sister and sooo encouraging to me.  She was my householder for my part, which went very well and the friends even applauded.  They were sooo happy to have us here to help out with some of the parts and they are all making us feel at home.
There has been a remodel of the bathrooms the last couple of days...I guess they were having sewer issues and needed to raise the floors. Here are a  few shots I took while they were doing the concrete work and tile... These brothers are amazing!  They started at 7am and worked all thru the night...eating breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hall (thanks to the wonderful sisters her prepared all the meals.

Since they raised the floor, they had to put a ramp and step in and had to raise the windows


Nate wanted me to include this junction box....Only an electrician or handyman would appreciate this!!!   :-)

This is Daniel and Vinny with Nate

Working into the night, but glad this part is over.....looks good!


and the tile is coming along nice....


Everyone has been sooo busy helping out and we can't wait tell its finished.
Oh yeah, so today was a great day in service. 8 hours to be exact!   Nate setup a table at the beach with the kiddos and another bropther full of literature and talked to several people and Erika and I got to help out in the mountains in finding English speaking people...which we found several and had some great conversations and shared encouraging scriptures with.  A long hot day (98 degrees to be exact with high humidity) and some very bumpy roads.  We even has to drive across two creeks cause the bridges were broken and walk up several hills because our SUV couldn't make it.
Some people were amazed that we were all the way in Costa Rica to preach....(but God says that...The good news will be preached in all the inhabited earth).  How exciting to be part of this prophecy!!!
After a long day we headed to the cafe for icetea and icecream.  A great combo and to check our e-mails... I guess its off to our casa to wind down and get ready for another great day! 
We send our luvs and hope everyone is doing well.
Hugs and kisses   xoxo
