in Alajuela

Right before I left to go home, I stayed with my friend Austin who lives in Alajuela, which is right next to the airport. We had some fun hanging out one last time.


So I got to try preaching in the city area, and well the people were not as friendly, a lot of people would not attend to us, or just say they were busy, it never happened when I was preaching on the coast.

Here is a picture of Austins girlfriend Tatiana, and another sister I don't remember very well.


Here is a mall we went to in Alajuela

Last meeting in Huacas Spanish Congregation

This is Brother Julio Sales. He was a very nice brother, I got to work with him in service one day, and he gave a great and very emotional talk that everyone enjoyed in my time in the Huacas congregation.

Here are two sisters that were very friendly to me giving there part.

This is brother Luis Espinoza, he is from Nicaragua. A very friendly and kind brother that I enjoyed talking with.

Here are two sisters, the one on the left sister Lopez, and the one on the Right is sister Yasuda, she is a half portuguese half japanese sister.

This is my good friend Chris, he is from Kentucky. He served at bethel. He is very open, says it how it is, and is a great speaker.

Here is another elder in the hall, his name is brother Roy Duarte. Very friendly brother as well.

Huacas House Sunset

Here is a picture of the sunset in the back yard of the house I was staying at in Huacas.

This is the road I had to walk down every time I needed to get something, as you can see there is no sidewalk, and it was very dangerous to walk down it.

Another sunset shot of my backyard

English Disctrict Convention

last weekend, the English congregations in Costa Rica ( I think 5 total) had there District Convention in the capital on San Jose. The program was amazing, 3 dramas and many releases.

As most of you already know the title of this years convention is 'Let God's Kingdom Come!

These are my friends Brett and Jade. They are from Michigan. We sat together at the assembly and went out a couple of times.

Here is a wide picture of the assembly hall, like the size of a typical circuit assembly hall back in america.

Here is the right side of the assembly hall.

The outside part of the assembly hall.

This is the entrance of the assembly hall. The building looks very modest from the outside.

Me taking a picture near the parking lot entrance of the assembly hall.

The parking lot entrance.

I talked to this brother, he was watching over the parking lot. His name is Grant and he is from Minnesota.

This is my friend Ryan that lives in the same apartments as me. He gave one of the talks at the assembly. He has been in Costa Rica for 10 years.

Here is the baptism pool. They have 5 people baptized.

Here is a picture of the modern drama. Both dramas were great, but I really liked the modern drama.

Here is a picture of the full costume drama. This one was also very good!

The modern scene from the full costume drama.

*** Spoiler alert*** hehe, not really, this is the last talk, the brother showing the release of the DVD for the series about the history of JW's. We saw this coming a mile away hehe.

Here is my friend Austin again that I met in Matapalo. He lives in a city called Alajuela that is about 15 mins from the assembly hall, so I stayed at his house. Here we went out SUnday night after the assembly with his girlfriend and sister.
