First day in Gleno

ByAndrada

On the first day in March and we travelled to Gleno, but after an interesting ride – many areas of the road were sunken, collapsed, washed by the floods, etc…

just a few examples

but knowing that Luke is one of the best drivers I know, I was also enjoying the unique views of Timor – which are magnificent!

But the journey was not finished yet, because just 1 km away from our destination, the car broke down… what are we going to do?! Not exactly the introduction I had in mind with the people in Gleno, but we got to meet them as they surrounded the car to provide roadside assistance🤗
Luke got creative and made a few changes under the bonnet … he could tell you what, but you might not believe it… what I can say is that I saw him using a combination of the pedals and the window-squirting mechanism to accelerate and feed the motor with petrol😳🤩

…but it worked because we got to our destination… safely! So grateful to God for my man! What an adventure!

This is what we found in the house! … I needed that – Mt 17:20

    after a few weeks, past the period of accommodation, I noticed that in Timor there were many trees and wild plants that, in the flowering period, give a lot of nectar and pollen. I inquired about whether there were beekeepers in that area and I was very surprised to learn that beekeeping, on this island, it just boils down to collecting some combs that the bees make in the…

    ByDaniel Micu

    After a very simple supper the conversation stretched a bit and the children, very tired, were almost asleep. I asked Juliano why they didn't want to go to sleep and he replied that, at their house, had established a habit, that after supper was over no one could get up from the table until…

    unShaken in Timor

    Yes… on 27.05.2022, around 11:30 am, there was another earthquake in Timor… but it was the first one here! I was in the house in Gleno… It was such a weird feeling, cause it lasted more than the one in Australia (my only other experienced comparison). At first, I thought I was dizzy cause it…
