Day 8 - Sunday March 9th

Our group that went up to Tarcoles, except for Ryan who
is taking the picture.

This morning we got up and went out in service. There were 12 of us that met. Brother Phinney, the service overseer said that it made him want to cry seeing so many here to help the congregation cover their territory. We took two car groups up to Tarcoles (about an hour drive north of Quepos) and were able to complete 2 territories. All the English speaking people that we talked to were very nice.The Americans here most all live in very nice houses, often in gated communities that sometimes allow us in and sometimes not. Usually even if we can't go in, the local spanish security guard will take literature from us and then distribute it for us to all the houses in the complex! They all accepted invitations to the memorial and at least 2 said they very well may attend! We quit at around 4pm, ate a little lunch at a "soda" in Jaco and then hit the beach for about an hour until the sunset. The waves were huge, and there were quite a few surfers. We headed home after that, took a shower and then headed to the internet cafe. Now we have to go buy some groceries for our crocodile and fishing boat tour that a local brother is taking us on. The presiding overseer here, Bro. Luiz, arranged it for us and is coming with us. Should be adventurous!
