Photo Card For Bolivian Friends

Well after being at the International Convention we realized the importance of always coming bearing gifts. :/ So this time we are readily prepared. For the families I figured we would give this small memento from our congregation and for the children I will make small baggies of candy. I am told that candy is a very special thing, since children down there do not get to buy it often.

Congregation Photo

Today we took a congregation photo that we will use as small gifts for the brothers and sisters in Bolivia. I was so happy that all in attendance supported taking the picture. It turned out very nice. Check out the results.

New Apartment

So this is a video of our new apartment. I didn't take any pictures because I figured it would be really hard to do since it is such a small space. So video it is. :D

New Hat

So I finally found a hat that would work for our trip to Bolivia. The family we are staying with recommended that we find a wide brimmed hat and bring SPF 50 with us. Since being so close to the equator, it is quite easy to burn. I am really happy to have found a hat because I have been searching for quite some time. I finally found one that fit my big ole' head and that I don't look completely like a boy in. :D

Updates

Well everything has been going well so far. Today we have a guy and his wife coming by to look at our Honda Pilot for the second time. :) The yard sale this past Friday and Saturday went really well. We sold almost everything we need to sell, the rest of it we took to Goodwill. We also sold our bedroom set and the glass tables in our living room. Last week we had the inspector come to the house and check it out for us. That went super smooth. He found only 3 things wrong and they were all incredibly small things. So we are getting them fixed and hoping the sale of our house still goes through. Our realtor keeps telling us that they buyer can drop out at the last minute. But I am keeping my trust in Jehovah because he will make sure it goes smoothly if this is what He wants for us. I am super excited though. The other day Justin got an email from the brother with whom we are flying to Bolivia with in May. He said that Bethel requested that we stay with the Bethel family for a few nights so we can see where the need is the greatest. I was so excited when I heard that. We are so excited for our trip to spy out the land. I just keep praying that this is what Jehovah wants too. Thanks for all of the support we have been getting. Justin and I really appreciate every one's comments and encouragement.
