Guadalupe Baptist Church and di-
rected the choir of that church.

dent of the primary work in the
same church and also played the
organ. They have many pictures
from Costa Rica, which they made
themselves, showing some of their

the foot of the Andes Mountains,
with a population of 300,000, in-
cluding suburbial sections. It lies
