Hello! We have had such a busy and great month here in Esparza, Costa Rica! Here are some of the things that happened: The attendance for the commemoration was 327 for the congregation of 105 publishers. 13 of our studies were able to come, and they were so impressed by the use of the bible and that everyone joined in looking the scriptures, and the order in which the meeting took place. This encouraged many to continue coming to the meetings. Due to high atten...
