Hello all :)
We hope all are well. We miss you all so very much. Here are some catch up photos :) We hope you like them.
Please keep up with your emails and comments and letting us know how you guys are going as it is a huge encouragement for us to have such beautiful friends.

Dan, Jen and our little beautiful niece Amiel paid us a visit here in Tarapoto for a week in the last week of last year :) we had a great time with them and we will post photos of there stay with us as soon as possible :) anyone that wants to visit us, COME :D your more than welcome and we love your company... we miss you all :)

We traveled to Lima with Dan, Jen and Amiel for a bit of a holiday and also had to run around trying to organise Sarah's residency here in Peru... man, what a headache is has been but with Jehovahs help and my mum translating everything for us we have got the hard yards done... we still have more to do, which we don't even know what that is yet hahaha
So all in all it was a lovely trip and we enjoyed our holiday very much :) we will post photos of that trip as soon as we can as well :)

We arrive back in Tarapoto just 2 days ago and have been getting back into routine... We got straight back into our studies and we are loving it :) we feel to privileged to be here and we can see Jehovah blessing us everyday with so many things :)

Here are some photos all :)
 Love to all :)

 The rain won't stop us from witnessing (colour matching was not on purpose, that would be just lame  ;P  )

 Standing in the back of the truck on the way to a village that hasn't been witnessed to in over a year :)

 It was a fun trip :D

 And this is the territory that hadn't been done for a year... Sarah lost a sandal here... hahaha

 Our little kittens.. so cute... btw the books are only on the floor because we didn't have a bookshelf yet... but we do now hehehe

 The view... amazing :D

The mud... not so amazing... all part of the adventure... no need for ankle weights here :P

Our pioneer meeting with the elders :)

Circuit Assembly Photos

Hello everyone :)

Here are some photos of the Circuit Assembly we had in December :)

 Yep we started setting all this up at 5pm the day before... CRAZY hahahaha but as always with Jehovahs spirit it was completed :)

 I started the Saturday with a suit jacket. I realised that I was the only one wearing a suit jacket and I soon realised why... It got so hot hahaha. Safe to say that on Sunday I didn't bring a jacket ;P

 Us with the Circuit Overseer's Wife, she is such a lovely sister that helped us a lot with her encouragement and experience... its a shame we don't have a photo with him but he was super busy doing a good job.

 Us with the Distric Overseer and his wife. Man they are an amazing example... that do so much and come for a place even HOTTER than Tarapoto... Him and his wife gave so much encouragement as he stayed with our cong for a week.

As you can see we didn't even where jackets even on the platform hehehe... I had a beautiful privilege  of being interviewed with some other amazing pioneers from our congregation :)

We will post some more photos soon :)

Love to you all :)

DRIVING ALONG

Its been to Long...

Hello our friends and family,

We apologise for the delay in our updates... it has been a busy few weeks...
So where did we leave off?? ahh the Circuit Assembly.. yes..
Well since then we have been busy with our studies and Sarah has been doing a great job with her studies... her spanish has improved so much that she now is doing an answer or two per meeting and having conversations :) so proud of my baby. We have a study with a lovely lady that is happy for us to come back day after day for a study... so amazing.. she has a bit of trouble reading which means more practice for us hehehe... Sarah smashes it.

I did my first bible highlights in spanish the other day... that was nerve racking... but not as much as my first public talk that was in spanish... It was in a little group that we support as a congregation in a town named Chazuta which is about 1hour away from Tarapoto... they have 12publishers. It was a beautiful drive there. It was so special because Dan and Jen with my beautiful niece Amiel was there to see it and my mum made a special trip down to Tarapoto from Lima to see it... We thank them so much for making a special effort... We love our family so much.
We have been spending time with Dan, Jen and Amiel for a bit over a week so far and we are with them for another 2 weeks here in Lima. It has been so nice to see them again and spend time with them... we are heading to the beach in the next couple days for a bit of a holiday with the family which we are looking forward to.
In Tarapoto we all went to the beautiful waterfall, Zoo and Muyabamba which has hot springs, orchard nursery and a very beautiful place to swim in cold water.. Dan, Jen and Amiel loved it and loved seeing where we are serving and we loved it too :)

Ah I just remembered another awesome little experience we had in the ministry the other day. I went back to a RV that we hadn't been able to get home in a while, he was home this time and we had a lovely chat about learning about the bible... he asked us to come back for a study and he asked if we sold Bibles... I said we don't but we give them away for free... well he gave a large donation and really showed his appreciation for all the work put into producing a bible. It was lovely to see a family man interested in Bible truths.

We also had our Pioneer Day which was just cool and super encouraging... All about keeping our Joy and how important it is... amazing little points and just super timely as usually. We had our Pioneer meeting with the elders as well and that was a boost... some interesting points about keeping up with the Faithful Slave.

Well now I am going to post some photos... But to finish this little post we would like to say thank you to all the support everyone has been giving us either through there lovely comments, emails, gifts and others. We would like to thank our families for there support such as the Markakis family back in Aus that have helped us prepare and continue to give us emotional support, we thank the Muniz family here in Peru that have been so generous, for example Tio Ivan has been letting us stay in his apartment at the moment as Mums house is full... and so many other lovely things... we thank Mami Grete (Joshs grandma) for her beautiful support. We could go on forever with all the encouragement we get from everyone, so thank you all... it really does help us keep going though not only our challenges but our adventures :P

Love you all,
Josh and Sarah
