Well, we finally are here in Potrero at the house we are looking after for the next few weeks. It is a little smaller than we all imagined –but very, very nice as one would expect. The views out the back porch though set it apart –wow! It is very easy to just sit and stare for hours at a time. Below I have included a link to just some of the stunning views. I have come down with a bit of the “Gripa” I guess –so I have been sitting out and letting the sun burn the “Gripa” out – and letting the whole scenery just wash over and relax me. Nothing manmade can ever compare with the Great Artist Jehovah God! This evening at dusk we were treated to masses of birds who earlier in the day I had seen from a distance and thought were Love Birds. At dusk however, they all start darting and flying by the masses to the treetops. One treetop just beside the pool came a whole flock –they were not Love Birds –they are Amazon Parrots! Green fronted and yellow banded I believe. To watch them fly together in pairs and chatter to each other in their freedom makes one really reflect on how they must be affected when they are relegated by themselves in a cage. For us –it would be difficult to ever have a caged bird again after seeing them in their native and wild domain! Truly breathtaking!
We do have Internet access here at the house for the next few weeks – so we should be in pretty good contact with everyone that wants it. Email is good, Skype is good, Skype is: kevin.haanpaa, chatting is good, so stay in touch all!

The pictures are beautiful it truly does look like paradise! Hope you get feeling better very soon. It was nice to hear your voice again. Knowing your circumstances makes us glad to know that you are in Jehovah's care & that everything will work out. It does make us curious just what Jehovah has in mind for you, we will be waiting to hear expectantly!
Love Mom & Dad
I am too lazy to post a proper blog...so just a quick coment. I am sitting here looking at tifka cas and kevin laying out like lizards by the pool, i dont think costa rica has seen so much blazingly white flesh ever! We have been talking to the pool guy and now the garden guy, any who comes close we give mags to and have conversations! Tomarrow is Saturday and we hope to meet up with the group, Brother Susa let us use his little tracker for the weekend and we will care for his little dog while he is gone. Ya hoo will talk more later...

Kevin these pics are beautiful! Wow what a treat! We have Bro Chavez this week and it has been wonderful. His parts have been very, very encouraging and uplifting. Oh so nice. Thursday we had 30 people in field service and we only have 38 publishers. Everyone seems to be in great spirits and really loving it. Things are getting so much better around here. I think we are all getting over our little depression. Thanks to Jehovah's help. Much love, Tina
The place looks awesome. It's like the opposite of what Ohio looks like. This week in service we have been doing nothing but return visits and studies because we had to turn in our territories after the campaign. Last night we went to some friends and got to play on their Wii. We played Mariokart and did the long jump and swimming in the Olympics. We had a lot of fun. The pictures you took look like they could be in a magazine or be turned into postcards. Hope you feel better too.
Love,
Tracey
Hola Haampaas. so you are in Potreo. We have some rv's there, could you make them for us? The wife of the resturant owner has been studying the bible with Lupita. We started the study while we were there. the resturant is on the west side of the plaza. the entire family demonstrated interest in the bible. we had 2 studies attend the meeting this morning. Pedro is one of my studies and this is the second week in a row that he has been with us. He raised his hand to comment at the w.t. but the conductor didn't see it. Sherry's study, Wanna, came and it was her first time. both really enjoyed the meeting and the brothers. Miss you guys. Oh yes, on the little road leading down to the beach from Potreo about half way down on the left in a little house there are 2 little girls that like reading the magazines. miss ya ,call us on skype. B&S
