Bon Fire




You've heard of a one horse town... well this is a cow town. We have to literally wait for the cows to cross the road daily. We have to honk and push our way through with the car to get by. It makes me laugh every time.
Last night we had a going away party at the beach for 3 pioneer sisters visiting from San Jose. The moon was so bright that we played volleyball and soccer until late. We roasted marshmallows and hot dogs and had a lot of fun. After soccer everyone jumped into the waves and cooled off. The next morning I met for service because i had plans with Tenessa, the sister from Michigan to accompany her on a few Spanish bible studies. On our way out of town her van broke down. We had no choice but to start walking home, even though it would be a few hours before we made it. Fortunately, a Tico family saw us walking and pulled over and told us to jump into the back of the pickup for a ride to Esterones, the town we live in. I took a picture of Tenessa while we were in the back riding on the rim in our service clothes. We jumped out from the back once we got to the town pay phone and gave him our presentation and a track in Spanish. I needed 1 hour that day to get my time in, and it all worked out!

  1. I'm sorry you guys seem to have a lot of car trouble. At least you got to witness to those people. The bon fire sounds like a lot of fun and it seems like your meeting so many of the friends.

  2. The roads are so bumpy, there is always car trouble! It's still been a lot of fun. The spanish and english group are so friendly, it's been easy to feel like you fit in. Candace
