These new missionaries arrived just a few days

after we did. It was so fun to meet them & then,

sit back & observe Presidente & Hermana

Wilkinson welcome & teach them, give them a

big breakfast, assign them their new companions,

& then send them off, to go to work!

 


 

The Petersen's with Hermana Garner, the mission nurse. Such a small world, she's Mike Garners niece from

Mesa, Arizona. Mike is Elder Pete's most excellent friend. Elders Richardson, Dortch, Soza & Ellsworth are 4 of

the many Elders that we've met so far.

The Moya's, Graciela & Ignacio (above)  with Elder Pete & Javier(below) 

 

Melanie & her companion, lived with the Moya's, while serving their missions here. Graciela has lovingly cared for

misionaros for many years. They're also our very good amigos & now we live close-by them : )

 

We are serving in "CENTRO DE AUTOSUFICIENCIA" @ "Capilla Barrio Don Bosco", or in English, the P.E.F./Self-

Reliance Center in the Don Bosco Church. It's located a few blocks from where we live in downtown San Jose.



At left, is a site we see now & again, moving day for someone. The couple we replaced, the Millers, hooked us up with this very beautiful young woman & Y.S.A., by the name of Beatrice. She makes house calls & cuts our hair.

 

 A couple of consecutive Saturdays, we
drove up,up,up to Volcan Irazu. The vistas on the
way up & again back down, were almost as fantastic as the volcano itself. We're told that the last time it erupted was in 1963, the same year John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

 

Sister Pete, that's me, loves animals & birds!! Look at these critters we  found at the top of the volcano. Of course, in the

gift shop, I bought a stuffed animal, like this real one, to add to my collection back at our casa in Utah : )

FAMILIES, that's what life is all about. Here we are at the San Jose, Costa Rica Temple.



Sometimes we see little things that remind us of our family back home,
like this Erika sign (my daughter from another mother)....

 

..or this Nochebuena sign, our daughter Lindsey's married name

At home, on any given Sunday night, the kids & grand-kids would be at our house playing games. Sometimes that game

would be RUMMY. Ahhh, the wonders of technology & SKYPE.

 GOOD NIGHT (OR BUENAS NOCHES)
