Back to Sydney! - Blogabond

Strathfield, Australia

Today we embarked on the 7hour train ride to a suburb outside of Sydney, Strathfield NSW to start our assingment from The Branch with the Chesterfield Congregation. We arrived around 4pm and after another bus and taxi ride pulled into the driveway of Brother Jim and Sister Jessica Sing, a super nice older Asian couple. We were excitedly welcommed into their home and they instantly started to prepare fried rice and vegetables for us. Sweet! Although the room they prepared for us is rather small, equipped with one single-size bed, we instantly felt right at home. Brother Sing showed us the Watchtower and Awake in all the different languages they use in the territory (Arabic, Chinese, Turkish, Vietnamese) so we're excited to begin working with those! We made a few phone calls to the local pioneers and made service arrangements for tomorrow morning.
We're looking forward to a fun and activity-filled week!

Very nice Lisa..I wonder where the older couple is originally from? Korea, China?, Maybe they have some interesting experiences to share about the preaching work in those countries..well no doubt having young theocratic minded Sisters' visit from the USA, is just as encouraging to them as thier open arms and hospitality is for you guys...Jah's blessings always extends to more then just one and is far reaching, quite an amazing thing...Jake and I are enjoying the updates! :0>
