3/22

Hello,

 We're doing pretty good and getting ready to move. We've been setting things aside that we'll either pack or give away. Its getting busy here! Many brothers and sisters have come over to pick up clothes, shoes or furniture. We are selling and donating everything! Even our cars. I know Jehovah will bless these efforts. A lot is going on. Only 5 weeks left! 
 Last night we had Teen Nite and we held it at the DLM's home. I no longer have a sofa, so theres not enough room to sit. We had 22 kids!!!!! Thats the maximum we've ever had. It was great and we studied Chapter 22. Funny number. Well, we took pictures afterwards and I had several sign their name on my copy of the book. Im glad that this little thing I came up with has been able to go on for so long and I hope it continues to happen. I will try to start it up in Ecuador once we settle.  I might begin with Volume 2 instead.
 My gramps and aunt arrived yesterday and they will stay until Saturday morning. Since Ziv is having his FIRST EVER number 3 talk, they came for support. Im excited! He's explaining what the Memorial emblems symbolize. I know he's been practicing and Im sure he'll do great.
 Tomorrow we have a going away party for the Cash Family. They will be moving to Mexico City and help teach English through a Bethel class. They were invited by Bethel to teach, using their curriculum. What a privilege!! The dad, son and two other friends drive off this Sunday, while the ladies fly out next week. We'll stay with them for 10 days before flying off to Ecuador. Im looking forward to it. :)
 Last weekend we had our SAD. It was excellent information and I appreciated the last talk very much. You'd never think of how important encouraging one another can be. I plan to continue doing so. I will add several pictures of the Assembly here. I saw many friends but really wish I had spent more time with them. I also knew about 8 of those who got baptized. It was wonderful seeing so many brothers and sisters Ive come to know, still serving Jehovah and enduring.
 Well, on another note...Things just seem to continue falling in place!! My grandparents weren't sure what to do regarding the car they had. Its been For Sale for about 2 months and they were just hoping it would sell before they left. Today it did! In our personal case, weve also had several green lights go on. We had to renew our Ecuadorian passports, but something had complicated the process. Anyways, we would have had to wait until we arrived in ECUADOR to fix that. My mom called them and really tried to somehow work it out, and they fianlly called and gave us an exception. It was awesome. So, now I have my Ecuadorian passport ready and just this Tuesday I got my US passport as well. Im amazed, but also letting this all sink in. Its crazy, or wonderful to see how things settle and how its all working out. Thanks Jah!
 Any those of you who wish to visit us are more than welcome. If you know people in Ecuador, we'd love to get in contact with them. Please, email me their info or msg me. We will be in the coastal town of Santa Elena or nearby area.

Yes, so things here have been busy, getting things ready and mentally preparing ourselves for the move. I can already envision myself seeing my friends, seeing family and being out and about in town. Makes me smile.


Hope you all are busy and also having plenty to do in Jahs service!!! 1 Cor 15:58


Much Christian Love,
