BACK IN PARADISE - ENERO 2015

It was great to go to the new Ogden Temple for first time
while back home for holidays.

Of course, that meant a trip to Farrs Ice Cream

Rented home for Grecia Branch where we talked January 11th

The Cox's from South Weber were visiting Costa Rica
and we were able to go to the San Jose Temple with them.

When we revisited the Rio Celeste it had been raining hard and the rain
made the river 'not so sky blue', as when Ryan & I went in October.

Training the Guapiles area volunteers, who opened a Self-Reliance
Center on February 9th.

Hermana Petersen had quite a shopping list to get,
 while in Utah. There are items she just can't find in
C.R.

But best part was time with family

The week after returning to Costa Rica we went with
Colemans to Carara Natl Park and saw Scarlet macaws

 I got to use my latest Christmas gift, binocular glasses.
TUANIS!!

 

While at Rio Celeste, Elder Coleman fed a coati.
This one had evidentally been fed before by humans.
He/she? was very friendly.

The view from our cabin when we awoke. Rio Celeste
 is part of Tenorio Natl Park about 3 hours north of
San Jose & not far from the Nicaraguan border.

Catarata Rio Celeste is usually sky blue



 

Where the water changes colors to sky blue due to volcanic sediment.

Was exciting to have Brent and Jan in MTC Provo with friends Paul & Ilene Dickamore
The Petersen's went north to Montreal & Dickamores to somewhere almost as pretty
as Costa Rica (Big Island of Hawaii).We're just teasing los Dickamores..well maybe. 

Such a blessing to have baby Will's adoption finalized
 in Alabama. Well, not actually finalized,
but what was necessary so Melanie & Jeff could
take him back home to Virginia.
