Bienvenidos to Venezuela


We do our laundry in an open-toped washing machine, rince it out by hand, and hang it out to dry. Our forearms are going to be huge from the wringing-out process.










Brett journaling on our front doorstep. As you can see in the picture, most windows have no glass or screens, which also means no air conditionaing.





Upon arriving in Venezuela, they treated us to Coca-Cola and a meal of rice, salad, and potatoes. This is the kitchen in Brett, Cassandra, and Jeremy's
house where they do all their own cooking. They are trying to perfect making rice and arepas (the Venezuelan national food).











This is Shaloam Mennonite Church where we will be serving for the next eight months. There are about 150 people who regularly attend the church. Brett, Cassandra, and Jeremy are living in a house above the church. The palm tree in the center marks the front door of our house.

hey brett and cassie.

this has nothing to do with venezuela, but i just saw the picture where the building in the back alley at HDC was on fire the first day. i guess i missed that. was it during the leader's week thing? that or maybe i'm oblivious to everything.
