Guyana Trip: Letham/Brazil visit and re'Visa'ing'

I still catching up the blog, we had to renew visas at the beginning of october, and we'd arranged to go over the Brazilian Border this time, as it to the south and more into the interior, we decided to go make a two week trip out of it, we arranged also to stop at a room at the Kingdom Hall in Letham, we were told that the bus there is killer journey ( 16-24 hours drive, mostly on dirt jungle road at night), and as it was our first trip that way we wanted to arrive feeling mostly Human, so we Flew there instead.

From the Plane we got to see Georgetown from the air, and the sugarcane fields disappearing away into the distance

We were Excited that the plane was dropping passenger off at a remote Village called Annai so got see a different area too, it was good to see Hills and Mountains, we've not seen any for Ten months, they were covered in jungle, unlike the hills back home.

We soon got Letham and Met up with a Brother Jared from the states, and two twin sisters from nearby Moco moco, Crystal and Petal, they impressed by reciting stories from my book of Bible stories

The dusty red roads soon stained our footwear, the temperature was hotter than in Berbice, but the creek water is clear and most afternoons we went swimming to cool down, the local kids swim like fish underwater around the old bridge supports, made it harder when we played a game of Tig.

Simon took us out one afternoon towards kumu, to do some witnessing, which meant we got closer to the hills, and spoke to the Amerindians

On foot to some huts

There's a house somewhere down here

Don't worry it's the small Bible

Sunset on way back

We then went to Boa Vista in Brazil on a very nice Bus, and stop at a hotel for six nights, and joined up with Portuguese English speaking group

A Bus Stop after many miles

We met Pioneers doing public witnessing from some of the many congregations in Boa Vista. They've been doing it since August and hundreds of magazines have been taken from the stands.

On thursday night we had the congregation bible study and school in English outside at the back of the hall, then we joined the portuguese congregation for the service meeting. Solange helped us to follow along as our portuguese isn't too hot!
