Hola Greetings From Venezuela!
I have arrived safely into VZ and am now in my destination city re-cooping from my long travel. Things are good and I have GOD to THANK for that! My trip started out rough being kind of rushed to get to and thru the airport and it put me in a stressed circumstance. When I got to the airport they told me I could only take 2 bags and it didn´t matter if I offered to pay extra. When landing in Caracas, VZ it is their rule only 2 bags allowed per person. This came as a huge suprise and shock to me seeing that I had everything packed between 3 bags! And these were necessities, not just toys or anything else. So I had to make a very tuff decision to leave my guitar behind and take the third bag as my carr-on in addition to my already full and heavy backpack. This 2nd bag was approx. 40lbs. I was lugging that was unexpected. OHH...THE JOYS OF MISSIONHOOD! Well....ok I was not very joyful to take that bag as a carry-on nor the fact I had to leave my guitar behind. I was very sad and aggrivated in fact. Sorry to admitt...I do not always carry the perfect attitude shamefully. What added on to my already existing trouble is that when I went through security they confiscated a good amount of my stuff because there were alot of liquid based things in it. So gone away with my stuff it went! :( Then I had some other items in it which I was somehow able to talk the guy into letting me through with. IT WAS GOD´S GRACE FOR SURE! :) and for that I become grateful.
Long story trying to be shortened...when I arrived in VZ I did not see the Pastor who was suppossed to meet me there, and all kinds of airport workers kept bugging me until one of them let me use their cellphone to call my friend whom arranged this Pastor to pick me up. Well- in the long run he finally showed and with another missionary friend of his who has been minstering in India the past 4 years. It was awesome! God knows also my heart for India and he sends somebody to connect with on that subject. Ok- so I got picked up and taken to a house where I got to shower, SLEEP, and EAT! Some of my favorite things... ;) haha... I met wonderful missionaries and pastors and then I was taken back to the airport to catch my next flight to my final city. I was blessed as I was sent off AGAIN and arrived safely into Barquisimeto greeted by my dear sister and friend in the Lord and her aunts and uncles.
They hosted me to a nice meal for dinner and let me make a call to my family to let them know I was safe and had arrived. My night was then complete...Now it is today after having rested and unpacked somewhat and I am fixin to get myself into action!!!
Chao for now!!! :0)
y gracias por sus oraciones...(goodbye and thank you for your prayers)

Dear Friend
It's nice for me to have found this blogg of yours. I read and saw what I could, my time is short.
I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise with my work there. My blogg is so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer.
I often come across with so good but lonely bloggs in my friendly random search,
my search for a public that may like or love what I POETRY write and also CHRONICLE,
among other types of Artistic Texts: we all search HAPINESS and JOY, don't we?
Well I'm realy happy to have found YOU.
I've learned and seen a lot after much more than 10.000 bloggs I've visted in the late three months.
And I will, like Titanic's Kate, keep on and on and on and, like the song, feel that I 'Still haven't found what I'm looking for'.
When you come and visit me feel free to comment as you wish and, TOGETHER, let's make blogguing universal,
realy universal, as well all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting, helping and loving one another this GENTLE way.
Let me tell you that some I visit feel invaded and ofended that I present myself this way in their blogs
and rudely insult me back or post a mockery post on me.
Some think I'm playing the smart guy who wants to profit in some way from (and with) others curiosity and benevolence.
Some simply ignore me.
Some aknowledge that It's most important we all take notion that there's milions of us bloguing arownd the world
and thus vital any kind of awareness of eachother such as I believe
this my self-introduction card and insert apeal brings in.
May you be one of those open and friendly spirits.
Don't feel obliged to come and visit me.
An invitation is not an intimation. Know that if you FOR A SECOND click on one of my GOOGLE ADS
I can earn a lot of money and so can you and there no shame in it.
I would feel happy and rewarded if you did click it FOR A SECOND
because certainly I WOULD DO IT FOR YOU in case you had them and asked me.
I think ind the end it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers!
When in my blogg don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge
(though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!)
and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity that you're a part of.
Remenber that pictures talk also and I have de most delicious ones.
I Hope this message of mine had helped you in some way.
See you soon, MY FRIEND.
May the LORD bless our HEARTS and fill them with PEACE AND MOTIVATION
to endure our Lives the best way we can.
A FRIEND
joshua
