We've been busy, busy and done quite a bit of travelling lately so I just don't seem to have had a minute to post anything. We have friends here from England right now and we're having a great time with them. We've spent some time in Costa Rica, and got to know Ometepe Island here in Nicaragua. I have a ton of pictures to sort through and stories to tell about those trips, but that will have to wait until another day.
Another thing that is keeping us busy is the formation of a new congregation. So tonight is our last meeting with our current congregation (who had a name change and is now called Real Monimbo) and Sunday is our first meeting with the newly created Pancasan congregation. It's made up of publishers from three congregations and Charley will be one of the two elders in it. So, the next few weeks are going to be interesting. Our schedule will no doubt be changing somewhat and now we have to learn a completely new territory, so I should have lots of getting lost stories soon!
Pioneer schools are also in full swing now. The first one started on Monday and I had the always nerve-racking privilege of taking the class photograph yesterday. Charley will be in the second class that starts mid-July. And we've been going to rehearsals for the circuit pioneer meeting which is coming up in about a month.
So, more later. Hope you're all doing well wherever you are. I'll leave you with a couple of pictures. I haven't even copied half of my pictures from my camera to my computer yet but these are a few from our Costa Rica trip.
