Turrialba is a relatively small town south east of here. Laurie and I had the assignment to visit the ward there and speak in Sacrament Meeting. Following the directions of our GPS we made it there OK.( Then the GPS quit like it did that time when the Bagleys were here, but that is a different story!) We went throught a lot of agriculture country on the way there and saw some of the same things we have seen on other drives through the country. The first picture is of a cane field. The second is of a cart full of cut cane. They grow lots of crops here under sheets of plastic like huge green houses and there are a couple photos of these. Then I just wanted to show some of the houses we pass as we drive throught the country. They people here like to paint their houses really bright colors. One is of a police station painted white with blue trim. Then there are a couple of pretty churches we passed by, and a picture of our church in Turrialba. It is a small church, the photo doesn't show the whole thing because it is long and narrow. There isn't a central hallway, you have to go outside to get from one room to the other. We enjoyed our meetings there. The people seemed happy to have us and were very friendly. There were several women who were sisters and told us that their mother was the first to join the church there when the kids were young. Now these women are older and they are the leaders and pillars of the ward--one taught the S.S. class and another taught the R.S. We estimated there were about 125 people there including one American family, some visitors, and a couple of missionaries. It is a very beautiful area and we'll have to go back sometime.
