Nothing words can do to add anything to this.

Ok, so.... Oh, yeah!

So, Bethel was amazing! Thursday we toured bethel and got to peek in the workings how things go down here. Lunch with the bethel family was amazing, the six of us plus the table head sat down and then Eber, a rather short brother who has recently appeared in some watchtower ASL DVDs, sat at our table and we got to know him and some other brothers as well. The neat thing about transport here is we were able to call the bus and it picked us up right at the front door of bethel. It took about 4 hours or so to get from the capital to San Jose de las Matas. We were able to squeeze in an hour's rest before walking a mile or two to the Spanish meeting
My goodness, the teety-tiny part of my brain the stores the little bit Spanish that I know hasn't seen enough action in a while and it was so difficult to try to get anything out of the meeting. There were many young ones in the hall that are ovboisly reaching out to make progress in a hall with about 70 publishers and a memorial attendance of over 300.

Most places close a lot earlier than the states so finding a market that was open after the meeting took a lot of walking all over town but eventually we met up with success and she was very nice. The next day we will head to Monabao.

Here we are!

It feels like weeks since we left Palm Bay, but it's been less than 48 hours. I'm so tired it's hard to think and put words down, but I'll try nonetheless. The flight was rather uneventful, with the exception that we all tried to start our preaching trip out right. Joel had a great conversation on the plane with the person sitting next to him, and Christian was able to do the same. I tried steering the conversation I was having with a fellow passenger to the Bible but was unsuccessful so I left some mags in the seat back. Kurt pulled out his Bible Teach book and the woman sitting next to him was actually a sister from Curaçao, so he wasn't able to count any time, poor guy lol. We stayed Wednesday night at the house of Joel's cousin and this morning je dropped us off at the Dominican Bethel brach (as pictured below). So much happened there I'll have to go into it later. Anywho, I'm about to fall asleep so long story short, we took a 4 or 5 hour bus ride from bethel to San Jose de las Matas where we will spend the majority of the visit, after we spend around 5 days in a tiny town called Manabao, which we leave for tomorrow. More to come in tue near future!

Long live the VW!

This is what my odometer read a couple weeks ago on my 2000 Jetta.  She runs pretty good and I sure hope it stays that way.
