Hi guys… it feels like a long time since I wrote! I don't have anything earth shattering to say just a conglomerate of stuff. Tiff doesn't like my morning song routine “Time to get up Time to get up and make your bed and fold it away, and hurry up in the shower, and run down to the laundry for me….” Just once I am going to surprise her and let her sleep in till…7 am. (smile) They pretty much camp out on the floor of the Little office and this is the first area all the workers go to no matter what hour, evening or morning, so they do get interrupted sleep for sure. Then there is the friendly wrestle for the coffee in the morning, even Cassie is part of it now. Usually Kevin wins with a huge sumo wrestler squishing of the children, and a dragon breath bellows, the girls usually surrender the first pot and make the second for themselves.
We have some Government officials coming to the Hotel today to dedicate the street they just paved (ours) and it is going to be named after our hotel, so allot of pomp and circumstance and champagne. I guess they are the equivalent of the senate in usa. I have the reception clean and bleached the front walk and Cassandra set up the bible display with the tract ready for any of them to access. Lets hope we have a good story to tell after of these hard to reach people getting a chance at the good news.
Tiff and Cass have been roped into service as waitresses for the event the owner wants to show off the American workers to the officials. Plus they are kind of cute and definitely competent.
Kevin has a 8 am meeting with a guy from New York who is interested in buying the Hotel. He is the second one in 2 months. I guess because we work behind the scenes we see all the errors of the place but on the outside looking in it really is a lovely Hotel. I would love to see it sell.
We are investigating moving to Puerto Limon. They have a greater need than here. For all of us. So know we are asking for Jehovah's direction in housing, employment, and support of the congregation. This is just the beginning part of the idea so we will see where it takes us…as you all know things move quickly in my life so I am sorting and organizing already. I would love to leave this hotel in proper order before we make any changes, but our authority is limited as well as our resources. That is quite frustrating at times. We have holes in our towels and torn bedspreads that need replacing, but the owner prefers to sink his money into a continuous building project of a tree house. Oh well, its his hotel.
We get to have a life tomorrow it is Saturday our day off and Service day…Yahoo! it is easier for me to get in service here as it is the happy place I get to go to escape this silly Hotel.
All of you please remember I love you. And I quite often read your notes over and over again, like dear paper letters one holds on to for years and years. Some of my responses are direct emails or on the comment area of this blog… Thank you very much..

Hello! Chad is giving the talk today. Next Sunday we have our one day assembly in Somerset. Brad was supposed to do a shepherding call on Tiff and Cass today so he said he's coming to Costa Rica to see them! He, he! I wish... Well everything is good here. Our CO is coming soon and that should make for a nice visit. Much Love, Tina
I don't blame Tiffany, I wouldn't want to wake up to singing either. I hope you had a nice day in service on Saturday. I talked to Elizabeth from Akron Saturday on the phone and she was asking about all of you. Your family is so loving that you are remembered long after you have left a place. I admire your adaptability too, content wherever you happen to be. We visited Akron this weekend to visit Jeremy's parents. It's funny how things change so quickly. We really enjoyed the time we spent with you guys when you passed through Ohio for a few years.
Looking forward to your next post.
Love,
Tracey
Tiffany is happy she has a kindered spirit in you Tracy, she was starting to think she was alone in the world full of morning singers. and this is a direct quote!
I love you dearly
