¡Vamos pa’ Tamarindo!

 

Well…here we go again. The Haanpää’s are on the move!

Things here at the Hotel have spiraled down progressively to the point that we must leave –now! or jeopardize our spirituality. We have been seriously considering going to Limon and the Caribbean to serve there- but interestingly we have been meeting some resistance finding a place to live there. So yesterday we came to the decision that we were leaving the Hotel anyway and would trust in Jehovah that we would find something in time or possibly be ready to leave the country if not.

So, I made arrangements to work in the ministry with Lindsay Dawes, the awesome brother from Australia who sadly is leaving in a few short weeks. He met us up at the Hotel and we worked the territory up here in the mountains and had a wonderful time!  During the course of the day he tells me of a brother up in the English congregation in Tamarindo that he knows well that needs someone to housesit a place right on the beach. Rent free. For a month and a half. Wow. We now it is short term- but we will have time to check the area out for work and other rental possibilities and see if we can survive there.

Tamarindo is an area of great need in English. Up until very, very recently it has functioned as a congregation with only 2 Ministerial Servants. Just in the last month or so it has now 2 Elders I believe.

So, I called the brother up there and it looks like we will me moving to Tamarindo sometime next week –likely Tuesday or Wednesday. We were invited with the Dawes to go to Limon again with them as he is giving the talk there this week. The girls are going to stay in Belen and housesit the Dawes place while we are gone.

We will try and keep everyone in the loop – but I am not sure what my Internet access will be right away. We are leaving the Hotel on Friday.

Please keep us in your prayers so that we can do Jehovah’s will and serve here in Costa Rica as long as possible- of course it that be his will!

How’s everyone doing in the Special Tract work?

We are having a great time here – very pleased that with Jehovah’s help we have been able to really participate and be involved like we have wanted to do here since we came. It really is the only satisfying work to do.

Until next time…
