Hello all :D
So here is an update on our trip to Peru. We have been in L.A for three weeks now and have been spending our time with the Cypress Cong. We have been so blessed to meet such beautiful people. Since we arrived we have felt at home.
Just before we went to the first meeting we prayed to Jehovah so send us to a congregation that we can have a large part in the ministry and as soon as we walked in two elders where there to meet us (Bro Indies & Bro Swisher) and the very first thing they said to us was, "Here are three pioneers!" and pointed to B.R.E (Brandon, Ryan and Eddie) from that moment on we have had friends that we will love forever.
Other friends that have made us feel are like family are the Cottons family, Gary and Joanne, Sis Lou, the Taylors, Margaret (who loves turtles), the Warners, Para, Bro Briggs, Jerry and so many more brothers and sisters from the Cypress Cong. We love you all and we thank you.
They where so lovely that we never needed to worries about how we would get anywhere because they all helped in picking us up for the ministry and meetings as well as social events. Such a beautiful spirit the whole congregation had. As Eddie would say, "Hebrews.13:16" and we truly felt that during our entire stay.
We where super impressed with there early witno groups. They would start at 7am!!! everyday of the week and there where always a heap out including sisters. Little Lacey Cotton, who is a pioneer sister that was always out in early work when she could, would pick us up and we enjoyed spending time with such a beautiful person. Her family is such a lovely example to all. Tom Cotton (Dad) took us out surfing which was a blast. Jess and Joey Cotton joined Brandon, Kyle and us to Magic Mountain which was the best theme park we have every been too... Sarah couldn't get enough of the rides, we had such a good time. Heidi (Mum) took us and the two girls Lacey and Jess (twins) to Santa Monica pier/beach which was beautiful and also to Malibu, Bell Air and Hollywood for dinner. That was a fun day.
Now time to tell you a bit about B.R.E ... (Brandon, Ryan and Eddie) these three boys introduced us to some of the biggest hamburgers we had ever seen in our life... they also made us laugh all the time in the ministry. We had some great and funny experiences in the field with these boys. Brandon told a Trinitarian that his bible was wrong, Eddie couldn't pass a study onto Lacey because ... well... we don't know why.... and Ryan well Ryan just made us laugh. There are so many details we would love to share with you all but all in all we have to say that these boys have been a real encouragement to us because of the faithful activity in putting Jehovah first in there life. They wish to go to Bethel and we pray that they do get to go.
Joanne and Gary are a beautiful couple that love DisneyLand and safe to say they are little kids at heart. Joanne took us to Lagoona Beach which was beautiful, she also made us the most amazing lasagne. There life story and example have been so ever encouraging to us.
We have had such a lovely time with the Cypress Cong and have experienced love from these brothers and sisters more than we could have ever imagined... we have learnt so much from them by spending time in the ministry with them and socialising with them and just listening to there life experiences. We have heard so many amazing stories that just builds your faith in Jehovah so much more. The time we have spent here with the Cypress Cong has been such a blessing from Jehovah that has boosted us up even more for our assignment in Peru.
We will cherish this time we have had and will never forget the lovely friends we have made and hope to see them very soon again.
What a wonderful Organisation we are all a part of and all glory goes to our loving father Jehovah.
For all our friends in Australia we send our love and miss you all dearly... we remember all your support to us and kind words and deeds you have done for us and that helps us to keep going in Jehovahs service. So we hope we can give a little back to you all by sending some of our journey to you.
We love you all,
Josh and Sarah
