Pics: While in service we saw this little boy riding his horse and leading another one.

We had to stop one last time at Playa Esterillos on our way home from service.

Still no internet. At about 7:30 this morning it began pouring rain again. So nice to hear the rain coming down on our tin roof. We decided to sleep in an extra hour and missed the service group. The four of us went and finished a territory that we had just south of Jaco and then around lunch, met up with the friends at the literature table in Jaco. Megan had a great conversation with a girl who is originally from Colorado. She explained that she attended a non-denominational church in Jaco and that in college she took theology. She was very familiar with Jehovah’s Witnesses. She had lived in South Korea for 5 years and was amazed that when they visited her there they spoke excellent English. We explained that many of Jehovah’s Witnesses learn another language so as to be able to accomplish our ministry more fully. She said she had read many of our publications and when Megan offered her the Bible Teach book she quickly accepted. Megan explained that she would be leaving next week, but that she would have someone else from the Quepos English congregation come by and visit her. A few hours after lunch we finished the territory and drove into Jaco to meet up with the rest of the friends. The market is in Jaco on Friday morning and afternoon so we decided to stock up on a few items. At one stand, after hearing me talk, the man next to me asked, “sounds like a southern accent you have”. Turns out he and his wife were from Plano, Texas here on vacation. He asked Amanda how long we were here for and when she told him 2 months, he wanted to know why so long. She explained to him that we were Jehovah’s Witnesses here as volunteers to teach the English speaking people the Bible. He was really impressed and said that was great we would come here to do that. Friday evening we went back to Barba Roja due to our nacho cravings.
