Our first post!

We've decided to start a blog to give you all a chance to travel to New York with us in June! Of course, we'll use this space to let you know what's new with us, and to
hopefully hear from you as well.

Any good blog is a work in progress so as we go we'll be adding links for slideshows so you can see our pictures as we upload them, some short video clips and any other little fun things we discover that this program can do.

I hope you enjoy the journey with us!

Shawn, Lynetta, James, Jonathan and Noah

I very much enjoyed the birds eye veiw of the storm we heard so much about...we heard the gusts reached 65 mph on the bridge...
I downloaded three of your photos as I wanted to get a better view of what was under the wall...was it fish or was it chunks of ice? I will look at it shortly. Thanks for including me with your family. I love your kids, you know, and wish they were in our congregation so we could mingle with them more. They grow up so fast! Love you all, June Klabunde

It’s Not Field Service, It’s a Party!

The title for this post came from a Brother at the Kingdom Hall today! He expressed it well! We arrived at the Kingdom Hall (Ibirapuera Congregation) for service. The meeting was conducted consecutively in English, Português, French and Spanish. Ps. 110:3 was the verse we considered. A final prayer was said in Português and off we went with our one partner to the territory. It was all walking and there were friends every block. I ended up in a group - my partner Marina has an 8 year old son Benjamin. Also another sister was unable to come, so her partner Christina joined us. Benjamin is the only child in the entire congregation! They have about 100 publishers. The love, attention and care he receives is beautiful! The entire congregation is raising him! The next oldest in the congregation is 17 year old Nathan, who was Jonathan’s partner for the morning. Below is a picture of Nathan, Jon & Benjamin -  Christina is widowed and also lost a daughter in death 14 years ago. She was

Heading out for field service this morning! Yesterday was amazing, but so tiring. We were able to get new SIM cards so we have phone service & internet. I can receive messages, but for some reason I can’t send them on my regular text. It’s best to use WhatsApp or Messenger to reach me if you need to. We exchanged money, bought shoes, bought toiletries and ate dinner. Then showered and hit the hay. We ate at the hotel restaurant just for convenience. Shawn & Jon had burgers & fries, I had cheese ravioli. Obviously the menu wasn’t very exotic. 😉 It is in the low 50s here this morning and folks are all bundled in coats & boots. I’m in a sweater, with bare legs & sandals. The low humidity is refreshing. The hotel breakfast was included and there was a beautiful buffet. You know how hotel coffee is usually watery and tasteless? Not here!! I pulled the spigot and black gold flowed!! Also there was an urn of warm milk to add to the hot coffee. Nice! When we arrived ye

Wallkill Bethel

We got up at about 6AM and started getting ready so we could be at Wallkill about 8AM. Shawn and the boys went down to the hotel restaurant to get breakfast and I ironed shirts and pants and got ready in a male free room! Wallkill was about a 30 minute drive from our hotel in Newburgh and was fairly easy to find thanks to Google. We missed one turn right in the town of Wallkill so had to get directions at the little deli in town. When we arrived, we were able to visit a wonderful display in the lobby about the history of the Watchtower and Awake magazines and the Watchtower organizations radio station WBBR that was in existence in the early days. Very interesting! I also got the "Noah" and "David" DVD in ASL from the literature counter there. So exciting as it's one I don't have! Next, our tour guide Brother Lester Slack came to the lobby to give us the tour of the printery and bindery. Lester has been a member of the Bethel family for over 27 years,
