Hello all :)
We would like to start this post off by sending our love to you all and we miss you all dearly. Please pass that on to any of our friends that might not be able to see this blog such as Sisters Tony, Wilsie, Josie and the Santa Cruiz's, and many more. Thank you.
So we arrived in Lima Peru last week... Spent some time with my (Josh's) family which was lovely and they all loved Sarah... as we all do. It was lovely to be with them and explain what we where going to be doing in Peru because they are not all Witnesses, but they are all very supportive of our assignment and very happy for us, which is nice and a very good witness.
We arrived in Bethel in Lima, Peru, on Sunday and stayed there for two nights. It was such a lovely experience and privilege to meet our dear brothers and sisters and be part of such a lovely spiritual routine even if it was only for a few days. Bro&Sis Liza helped so very much with getting around and meeting brothers and also with all the paperwork stuff and helpful information about our assignment... which I need as much help as i can get. hahahahaha. We met so many lovely, faithful brothers and sisters there and some that have been serving Jehovah in full time service for over 60years!!!! Their experiences and faith have really encouraged us and have helped us so much.
Everyone was telling us that Tarapoto is beautiful and that we will love it... but that its hot... and they asked us if we like hot weather..... well .... some of us know how Sarah is with hot weather, and I am not a happy chappy in the heat either. So we said, 'YEAH... not really' hahahaha but we know we will still love it and we are super excited to go. They told us that there would be heaps of waterfalls and rivers to cool down, which is awesome... we will be there everyday and just preach from there... hahahah...
Anyways, besides worries about coping with the heat, which we are not really too worried about, we got many helpful tips of what to do and how to live in Tarapoto from the Service Department and many other loving brothers. Safe to say all our questions where answered and that felt like a blessing from Jehovah to us. We continue to see his hand in everything we do which gives us so much faith and trust in him being there for us. It truly is like the daily text of yesterday which had the point that we need to be moving forward to get Jehovah's guidance and direction in which way to go and sometimes that doesn't come till the very last moment but we just need to keeping moving forward in our service to him and pray. We have felt that and his support so much, its very encouraging to us.
So today we left Bethel just after morning worship. It was sad to say goodbye as it always is but we know we will see them soon. We feel so happy to have the brothers and sisters support from Bethel.
The taxi ride to the airport was longer than our flight to Tarapoto because of the traffic hahahaha.
The flight to Tarapoto was lovely and was awesome to see the changes in the land as we got closer and closer to Tarapoto... we went from desert - hills - mountains - snow capped mountains - bush - then finally jungle. We will post some photos up soon either here or on Goolge +
As we where arriving in Tarapoto the captain announced that it was 34 degrees Celsius!!! but we where not worried hahhaha... maybe a little... once we got of the plane though we where like, 'This is not to bad at all.' It was hot but not unbearable... YET hahaha maybe it was just the excitement.
The Lozano Family was waiting to meet us.They are such a lovely family that took us to there house and had a room ready for us. Very hospitable family. The heat finally hit us when we got to their house. hahahah.... so we have been resting this afternoon.
We starting the ministry tomorrow and we will keep you updated as we go along.
Thank-you all for your support and we love you all very much... please keep in contact with us.
