I was going to stay at Steve and Elba’s when I went to Altamira. This is always a highlight. Then Deanna reminded me that Discovery Group Leaders stay in the homes of the people they are helping. “Oh yeah.” I phoned up Jefferson. What an awesome 18 hours. I arrived at 6:30 Friday night. I left for home after lunch the next day. We talked till I fell asleep, and we started talking again when I woke up (after personal devotions).
Different groups of monkeys were jumping through these trees the whole time we met, and chattering loudly. Some came quite close to the fence. There were many jungle sounds and a cool breeze all through the three-hour morning meeting.
This fruit is called cajarana. It is in the family of mangos.

Pineapples line Jefferson’s driveway.
Jefferson and Simone raise chickens, fish, and pigs, and most of the food they eat comes from their own property.
