Hi everyone!
Casey and I have some news.... we are returning to the US. Granted, it's a lot sooner than we thought but we think it's for the best. Because of our own limitations, we haven't been able to serve where there is the greatest need in Bolivia: really high altitudes and really extreme heat. We have explored all of our options and determined this is the best. The visa situation continues to be a mess and we felt it better to cut our losses and try and find somewhere we can be of the most use.
We have enjoyed our stay in Cocha, it is a beautiful city. Even more beautiful is the congregation here. The support we have received has overwhelmed us. We will miss them greatly.
We also want to thank all of you who have followed us and supported us with your kind words and prayers. Hopefully no one will be too disappointed in us. We wanted this to work out for at least a year, but the best laid plans......
Now for the good news, the Kerstners are going to stay. Please keep following the blog, as they will be updating it from time to time with experiences and pictures. We are proud of them and we know Jehovah will bless their efforts.
Hey, Casey, I have a foot picture just like that of ME! Remember the "flying out of the chair" incident? The results to the foot/ankle were very similar! Go, girl - someone has to take my place!
ReplyDeleteKnow you guys were compromised about what to do but also know that you prayerfully considered it, sought outside advice and made your considered decision - we are proud of you for that and for your willingness to go so far to serve Jehovah! Know you will be sorry to go but know we are waiting here with open, proud arms!
ReplyDeleteWe are super proud of all that you've done and will continue to do for Jehovah! We love you mucho and can't wait to see you soon!!!!
