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.

We attended a church picnic. In this picture are Allen & Rebecca, our fearless mentors, on the right are Adolfo & Celenia (he is our pastor), to the left are Juanita, Karen, and Luis.

We occasionally have the privilege of caring for two adorable kids, Kaitlyn and McKenzie. As you can see, they can hardly stand to be around Kenny!!




We have celebrated several birthdays. Top is Rebecaa, our mentor. Next is our Tico mom, Aida with her three children and grandkids. Third is a fellow student, Amy. The bottom picture is of some of Cheryl's classmates and teacher, Alejandra.
