These are some photos from La Carpio, the area of the city where we go on Thursday afternoons to do ministry.

We recently celebrated Daniela's birthday. She and her sister Diana are the granddaughters of our Tico Mom, Aida.

A carving of the Lord's Supper.

Heather likes to play in traffic!

Fishing for our dinner. Rebecca certainly looks happy!

Heather came to see us, and we had a great time.

This is one of Cheryl's teachers. She is dressed in a traditional dance outfit, for the 65th anniversary of the Spanish Language Institute. She is probably the best grammar teacher in the school and is a blessing to our class.

More bird zoo pictures. The sign asks "Are you going to torture your mother?" Interesting.

One of our classes went to the Zoave (bird zoo) although there were many other animals to see.

We had a fiesta one Sunday night and the kids danced traditional dances and there was mariachi music.

This is the Guaymi church we attended last Sunday. They are hoping to soon be able to put in some low walls in order to be able to have week-long training sessions there for local pastors. The second picture is of a local church leader and his family. The third picture is of one of the little girls who took up with Kenny's hat. The church was very welcoming and made us feel very much at home.

This is of the country Kenny traveled through last weekend with Bill and Gary. Yes, they drove a truck over those bridges, one of which is suspended on cables!!

Last Saturday Kenny spent the day in Guaymi country with Bill Egbert. In these pictures are a church building, a Guaymi family, Bill with a young boy, and some kids (those are red beans on the sheet).

Last Monday we had a free day and went to a town called Sarchi with Gary & Sis Tufts. This town is famous for painted ox carts and beautiful furniture.

These pictures were taken on the way home from the church picnic. The big green tree is the Guanacaste tree, Costa Rica's national tree. The fence posts did start out to be fence posts, but the ground here is so fertile, that they sometimes just take off and grow - it's the Land of the Living Fence Posts!

The church we attend is Templo Bautista in Villas de Ayarco. We take two buses to get there, but it's worth it. The people there have been a blessing and fellowship is wonderful.
