Nicaragua and Costa Rica Trip Day 14

Today we got to go to La Paz Waterfall Garden.  Not only are there 3 incredible waterfalls at this place, but also birds, butterflies, monkeys, hummingbirds, large cats, frogs, and snakes that are all found in Costa Rica.  We also went and meet Monsop and his family.  When Kirt was on his mission here he went on splits with Monsop all the time.  Monsop was dating a girl that his mom didn't like so she locked him in his room and told him that he could only come out for school and church and to go on splits with the missionaries.  So needless to say, he went on splits with the missionaries a lot.  Then we went and had dinner with Marielos, a sister that cooked dinner for the missionaries when Kirt was on his mission.

This is a house that Kirt lived in on his mission.  Well actually it was the house he thought he lived in on his mission.  Marielos said that he actually lived in the house that was next door to this house, but that the house next door looked very different from when Kirt lived there and that it used to look a lot more like this house.
