Ok, so here are is a hodge podge of service photos. They aren't all on the same day or even in the same part of the territory but it's all the same work ;)
You can't really tell from this picture but we are way up on a mountain and, after having driven 2 miles down a treacherous path, we came upon these guys who were cleaning up the sides of the road with machetes. They proceeded to inform us that nobody lives back there! Nevertheless, it was an adventure.
Ok so I found a picture of the view, awful isn't it?!Haha, just kidding, we could've stayed up there all day.

| Rugged service shoes are invaluable here! |
Tony had been planning to just bring his one pair of meeting shoes and they just wouldn't have cut it. Just a week before we left we were visiting with a friend who was wearing the shoes in the picture, and yes I mean that exact pair of shoes. Tony commented on how durable and comfortable they looked. The brother said "You know what, they don't really fit so you can just have them." What a blessing they have been!

| But Lacey has to hold her own! |
A fact about Quepos: it's located at 9 degrees latitude. That being said, the sun can be pretty brutal so it's common practice to carry an umbrella, come rain or come shine.

Since the territory is large and the number of cars is few the bus system is well utilized by all. On Fridays the majority of the service group will catch the 9:30 bus to a town called Jaco (ha-cOH). It's about 1 and a half hours by bus so some public witnessing is necessary to get things going. Once we arrive in Jaco we're all afoot. After what seems like a very long day we grab some lunch at a "soda". It's kind of the Costa Rican version of fast food, only it's real food served cafeteria style. The typical plate consists of beans, rice, meat, a salad, a hot veggie, and fried plantains. After eating all that it makes the ride home seem like a good time for a nap!
Unfortunately, that's not usually possible because the bus home is so crowded that a lot of people have to stand. (They don't observe the max capacity rules of anything.)

| Lots of witnessing going on! |
 |
| Tony and Cody had to sit on the stairwell for about 30 minutes or more! |
There is also a large amount of foot traffic so the witnessing tables have been very successful. There is one set up in some part of the territory at least every day but Sunday.

A couple, that came into the truth down here, own a sushi/souvenir shop just outside the entrance of Manuel Antonio National Park. They have provided an area to set up the tables. On a side note, the food here is DELICIOUS. They don't serve sushi exclusively, I had the almond-crusted red snapper.

| This cost me about 70 cents. |

Sometimes, you just need a chocobanana! Although I have to say that I find the overuse of sweetened condensed milk just a tad much.
Tata for now!
