Well, here vre are at long last, moved and set tled in the new location
in
Costa
Rica
where we
feel the
Lord
will have us work
Happy I977
and
pra ise the
Lord
for
liis. living grace toward
us.
The
town
of Liberia is about ^ hours north of Ban Jose and only 1 hour
ftcan the border of Nicaragua.
It
is very hot
and
dusty here since we
are in the middle of the dry season, with no rain in
sight
for
at
least
another
three
months.
e
are finding
i t
a
very
different
w y
of living than we have yet experienced in our 5 years outside of the
U.B.
e are right
on
the
edge
of the
undeveloped
back country, but,
also
on
the
edge
of progress. There are
ox
carts and
oxen, men on
horses, people walking, riding bicycles, also,
cars
and trucks
that
pass our house every day.
t
is really quite a
contrast,
but an
ideal
place fo r us to
work
fo r
the
Lord.
Bob has access to the San Carlos Valley, plus many more areas than he
has
even
dreamed.
e
has
been going out for 2 or 3
days
at a
time,
passing out portions of the Bible a,nd tallcing to the people about Jesus e are just finding more and more to do all the tijire, so please
continue to keep
us
in you prayers, as
we
will need lots of
love
fdr the people,
^well as lots of wisdom and knowledge to be able to work effectively for the Lord.
iic y that we will aliiays
be
tuned to the directing of the Holy Spifit in our lives,.
^

Lord

bieautiful
