Crazy few days... Marty and I we're denied boarding in Denver and my luggage didn't arrive until last night. We did make it on the plane, we just had to buy one way refundable tickets within the 90 day time period to get on. This only happens on Frontier airlines, so if you want to visit over 3 months, take note! It is so beautiful here! We live in a small village called Esterones, about 3 miles outside Samara. We have to cross a small river to get to our village, and 4 wheel all the way up. Our house is on a hill and overlooks Buena Vista beach, we went on Sunday with some from the congregation to take the kids swimming. Marty and David went surfing and fishing this morning with some of the brothers and had a fabulous time. Finn has been really sick and I haven't even been out in service yet, hopefully on Wednesday.
No one speaks English. We definitely need to do our Rosetta Stone just so we can buy groceries and do the simplest tasks. I feel totally helpless! All our neighbors are witnesses and it's been nice not to be totally alone, they have helped us out a lot. We love it here and cannot wait to tell you more!
So glad you are all there and safe!
ReplyDeleteDo you both families share one house? I do hope Finn gets better..what an adjustment. I'm saving my dinero to visit! Be well.
Sounds like quite an adventure. We all look forward to following along. Just wish that we could come out to see you soon. Thomas was excited to see uncle Marty and aunt Candace and Finn's house. Hope finny feels better. have lots of fun.

Hey guys,
ReplyDeleteThis is all new to me, but I will get it all figured out soon. Sorry to hear that Finn wasn't feeling well. Hope he is better soon. Glad to hear that you all arrived safely. I bet that Rosetta Stone comes in handy, have fun learning another language. I am so excited to hear of all your experiences and adventures. We all send our love and hope to hear from you soon.
It looks like paradise! Spanish immersion baby, you will be speaking it so fast. Can't wait to hear more!
ReplyDeleteHey KissyFur,
ReplyDeleteGlad you all arrived safely! Sounds like such an amazing adventure, in an amazing place. You guys are an inspiration to simplify, and do more for Jehovah. May he truly bless your efforts! Miss you all, especially our little blond hair, blue eyed Cost Rican boy. Can't wait to hear him speaking Spanish! Give him a kiss from his Auntie. Can't wait to hear more!!!
