We hope all our friends are doing good. We just heard about the windstorm in seattle, so we thought we could send some Costa Rican sunshine your way.
We have been really busy for the past couple of weeks, and especially last week with our CO visit. Him and his wife were such a treat for our congregation. So encouraging, and as always great talks that you walked away feeling uplifted, but at the same time with specific things to work on.
Corina and Nyah had an assignment during the visit, and they did really good. So on the day prior (because there is really no good restaurants in Santa Cruz) we went to the beach and had a nice dinner. Nyah was making sandcastles and we could hear the waves crashing. We got to have dessert, Corina got the best one I think...Chocolate Lava Flow...
On the final day of his visit, a brother who has a little cabina on top of this mountain, invited us and about 20 other brothers and sisters. This is the picture where you can see forever, and the sunset. In the night time we could see the big city of Liberia which is about 50 miles from where we were at. And the picture just doesn't do it justice. We were able to pick some sugar cane, and use machetes to cut it down, bananas, and we just had a really good time. The brothers cooked up food, and we had coffee.
There was a couple and his wife got sick, and they had to leave early. Because of the shortage of cars in the area that meant we had to take 15 people down in 2 cars...So you can see one picture of the brothers and sisters in our car. But you don't see Corina, Nyah and myself sitting in front. So we had a total of 9 people. But we all made it home!
We are continuing to enjoy our time, it has been going by really fast. Our neighbors just brought 2 of their dogs, so Nyah is loving them. She keeps buying dog food, to feed to all of the poor, skinny dogs around the area.
We hope you all are doing well, and we hope to hear from you soon.
I thought I already posted a comment on this but I must not have finished.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the pictures, they are great. Maybe we can go to that Cabina when we're visiting. Good job, Corina and Nyah, on giving your talk. I am sure it turned out wonderful. Did you put that plant in front of the table on to hide behind? It's like camouflage. "Where's Corina?"
Well, I'm sure the friends appreciate you guys. You are doing so much great stuff with the congregation. And I'm sure the dogs appreciate Nyah's generosity as well...
Miss you!

Wonderful pictures guys. It is so good to hear from you and see the smiles of the friends as you are in service and enjoying fellowship. I feel like I am part of it all with your pictures and happy smiling faces. I missed our CO's visit so I will make it up soon. Joye has been sick this past week and we had so few at our meeting this week because just so many of the friends are getting sick. The Hospitals in Tacoma are so full of people with the Flu they are putting sick people on stretchers in the hallways. I am doing much better and so happy. Out of four weeks I was sick for three of them.Yuk! I just finished studying the Watchtower for tomorrow. I have to work so hard on remembering Jehovah's loving forgiveness and I need to do the same. I love you all so much. Goodnight. Love mom.
