More pictures

 

The Internet stayed up long enough and I finally took the time to organize some more pictures. So, now you can go over to the website www.palan.net and look at the pictures.

I just wanted to add this note too. I think some may have gotten the impression that I was being very negative in the last post. I really was not trying to be overly negative. I was trying to paint a picture of reality here that is often not reported anyplace that I looked when researching coming here. It certainly is not meant to discourage anyone from coming. It’s just that I think it is better to be honest and upfront so you can look at things objectively.

In all reality it is a telling picture of what man has done to Jehovah’s beautiful creation. It helps us appreciate that even in this so called paradise – and in many ways it is – we need desperately God’s Kingdom to cure the ails even here. It may be the very reason that the English field is growing here. People move here thinking that it is their paradise. But they soon realize that problems still exist and their hearts are perhaps motivated like never before when they lived in their more affluent homeland.

We are very happy to hear some of the good reports from the old congregation. I know Brad did well with his responsibilities conducting and his outgoing talks and I know Jehovah will continue to bless and use him to the full if he lets him.

We do thank everyone that has left comments – We cannot express enough what it means to read them and feel connected still to people we know and love.

Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of… Kevin and Kathleen in Costa Rica –the adventure continues!
