A Warm Welcome



Our apartment building, we are on top.

After our lasagna dinner, Jeff drove us to over to our apartment, 3rd floor, not too fun with 8 bags, but we managed. Our other friends, Keith, Renee, and Andreas and Franscisco had lovingly prepared our apartment for us by washing all the dishes, cleaning everything, and recovering what used to be nasty cushions on the furniture. We were so grateful for the warm welcome!
The next few days were spent recuperating from our journey...grocery shopping, unpacking, finding our way to the Kingdom Hall (12 minute walk), the Walmart and Chedrauri (15 minute walk).
As soon as we felt like we were getting the hang of it all, Carla got a sinus infection and fever. The Circuit Overseer visit was beginning and she missed service and one of the meetings, but recovered well and is doing great now.

A place to refill our 5gal water jugs.

As a side note, the friends here have been there for us every step of the way. Though they feel like they could have done more, we don't agree. We have been offered rides often, driven to pick up our water, laundry, groceries, anything really! Helped to get cell phone service, look at houses to rent, translating, translating and more translating, (thanks Carlos and Levi) We are trying to be independant and not burden them...but they want to help and we appreciate it so much!



Carla making "juice", must stay healthy!
