Costa Rica!!! You'll want to read this one.

Alright so every six months we have to leave the country for 72 hours and get our passports stamped- which is our visa. Since Costa Rica is the closest country most of the brothers and sisters in this half of the country run over to Costa Rica for the three days. We stayed with a family that had an extra little house behind their house that lived 15 minutes from the border town. Those three days turned out to be more adventurous than expected.
The family is in a congregation that preaches to the tribes and most of the tribes are in the mountains so on our second day we went in service with them. But little did we know they were going to go on FOUR-WHEELER!!! Here are some pictures:

 The mud was crazy. We got covered in the mud especially when we were riding on the four-wheeler since it spattered it up onto us. But none of the pictures show that sadly.  

 They got stuck quite a few times and had to figure out how to get out I think the brothers had to pull this time.

 This is mom with the father of the family we stayed with and his daughter looking over the valley where a lot of the people lived.

 Me!!! Alyvia stayed with the sister that we were staying with to do studies and I almost did to but once I saw their means of transportation I had to come.

 Here we are at lunch. They strapped it onto the front of the four-wheeler and then at lunch time we sat under a tree and ate. The sister that we were staying with was a wonderful cook and so we ate good: chicken rice and beans too I think. All very flavorful.

Costa Rica was beautiful. Though it was right across the border it was so different. The mountains had more fields than here. The money was Colonies- 500 colonies to $1. And the roads were horrific. We had a wonderful time there but we were glad to be home.
