Me and Brother Nelson on stage before my talk. He set up the mics and the fan for me.
Well last night after I got home from posting online, Sam and Jen had made it safely home from San Jose. They stopped on the way and took a hike up into the mountians to a waterfall and on the way saw a sloth in the trees right next to the path. Sam told this funny story about it grabbing ahold of a branch and it breaking, causing the sloth to fall on it's back. He said it slowly reached up to grab a leaf to pull itself up but then that broke off too, causing him to tumble down the hill.....lol....he said he just wasn't moving fast enough!
This morning we made breakfast at home again and then the four of them went into Quepos to the market, which is every Saturday on the waterfront. I stayed home for about an hour and timed my talk for this afternoon. At the bus stop to head into Quepos, I ran into Michael and Rocky on their way home from the market, they had seen the rest of the gang there. At the market, Chaz and the rest of the gang were already gone. That didn't stop me from browsing aroung though. I bought another fresh coconut for it's water and jelly, much cheaper at the market, it was only 50 cents. I also bought a miniature coconut pie that was amazing! They are cooked and sold here at the market by the Quakers. From there I went to the internet cafe which is were I'm at now. I will post more of our day later. I'm going to try and post a few more pictures as well. See ya!
At the meeting, everything went well with my public talk. The little fan they put on the speaker helped keep me cool but it was tough trying not to let my notes blow away. We had 31 in attendance, not bad being that they only have 18 publishers (really on 13 permanent - 2 just moved back to the states and 3 are on the construction crew building kingdom halls around Costa Rica. After the meeting, 11 of us went out to dinner at El Avion, an nice place that we had already been to the first night here. The girls all bought some jewelry from the girl that will make it for you while you have your dinner. She was cheap and did amazingly good work. After that it was back home and bedtime.

Yeah, you gotta post a pic of this coconut jelly stuff. What is that? I've had coconut milk and the coconut...meat? You know, the white stuff they shred and we all call coconut. But coconut jelly? Sounds disgusting.
