Changes
Some of you already know that Nathan and I have decided to move back to the US. For those of you who didn’t know, we are planning on coming back the end of December. This has been a really good experience for us and we definitely do NOT regretting coming here. We have learned a lot and have had lots of experiences we will keep with us for the rest of our lives. However, we feel we could be of more use in Jehovah’s service back in the States. Not being a part of the Kingdom Hall Builds has left a hole in our hearts that we are very anxious to fill!!! 
The Vines family have sold their house and are moving to Ecuador July 24th!!! They bought our house stuff and will move in to our house on July 26th after they spend two days at Bethel. We have moved in to Willie and Carmela’s house. They are currently working in California and should be back sometime the end of December (which is why we decided to wait until then to come home). Nathan felt bad leaving the congregation without Willie being there. Anyway. Their house is one street away from the Kingdom Hall which will be very convenient for us when we sell our truck. Speaking of….we sold our truck!!! We had shown the truck to Harold (the Assembly Hall Overseer), he really liked it and said he would tell people about it. Well, last Sunday we met him, Cyndi, and a family from Otovalo for a movie and to show the family our truck. They are from the States and have lived here about four years. They have a daughter who is probably about 17. They currently have a 1965 Jeep and want something more comfortable and reliable. The best part is that we told them we needed to keep the truck for mom and Lauren’s visit and for the pioneer school and they said no problem! So, they faxed us a little contract saying they would buy our truck after pioneer school! We got the contract yesterday so we’re really excited. Everything is falling in to place. A super nice sister here (the kindred spirit) said Jehovah must know that we’ll be of more use to him there. Cool, huh?
Our plan is to buy a camper trailer to live in. That way we can save on rent and also be able to take that to the builds. We hope to keep our lives so simple that I will not have to work. We will be able to be extremely involved in the quick builds if that is the case!
OK. As for what else has been going on here. I am still doing the accounts until Stephanie gets back in November. Then, this past Thursday the brothers asked me to do the sound at the meetings until further notice. The main need here is for brothers. The brothers here don’t really reach out. So, after talking to all the baptized brothers every month for the past year and telling them if they didn’t start “stepping up” they would start using sisters, I’m doing the sound and Elke is doing the magazines. Weird, huh?
Last Sunday I translated the Watchtower paragraphs in Signs!!! That was probably one of the most stressful experiences of my life! But, with much praying and help from Jehovah, I survived. Then, on Wednesday Nathan and I both gave Sign Language talks. I have to say I’m glad those events are over.
That about catches you up on things here. We love you all very much and are excited about seeing you all again!!!
p.s.- Mom and Lauren will be here in EIGHT DAYS!!!
Love,
Jennifer
I see that you are coming back to the US and I wonder if Mellisa is coming back with you?
For a while I was not able to log on to your site? Don’t know why?
Let me know what size trailer you want and what price range. I have a couple of contacts because I bought a 18 foot Dutchman.

I’m sorry I didn’t check this sooner. Jessica had said something about your coming back. It will be nice to have you. Heather and I’ll still be in the same RBC with y’all. Ben Owens said we have three projects basically ‘ready’ to go. And I hope that you’ll stick to your goal of Jennifer not working. Jehovah will Bless your efforts to keep things So Simple. love and hugs.
