Crack of dawn...

(Sorry that we got so behind but we r gonna try to catch u up:)

...That's when we seem to wake up here. If our 1st room in Alajuelita was antitrabajo then this one is "antiduermo"(not conducive to sleep). The sun seems to b up at 4:30(and in our room), the birds immed start cackling, which may sound nice but I mean like ALL the birds in Costa Rica. This after all the neighborhood dogs barking all night in harmony with what I thought was a pig or duck next door, but is actually an old dog with what sounds like a perpetual hairball:0(


The good news is I was gonna meet Flor and go on a study, the bad news is we left at 6:55am to walk to the park in the center of Perez Zeledon. But there were a ton of friends from the central congregation doing public witnessing in the park.

Erik walked back up and met the group. FYI: he forgot sunblock and got fried!
I went with Flor on her study, Flor. We got off the bus up in the quebrada and walked about 20 minutes along a pretty creek. She studied the good news brochure and is just starting the bible teach book. Catholic but seems sincere. And she has mango and avocado trees in her back yard so we went home with heavy backpacks.

First meeting in perez zeledon. A little stressful when it's pouring rain, the sister doesn't come home before meeting and we start sensing her elderly father, who she told erik the night before shouldn't b driving, is warming up the 1990, 2 door blue Nissan Beaty:)
Needless to say, r nerves were a bit fried by the time we got to meeting.

They have about 87 publishers and 4 elders, at least 2 servants, not sure number of pioneers-at least 3 that were in pioneer school plus the 2 specials.
