Dear Brothers,

After much prayerful consideration, and counting the cost, we are writing to learn of any greater needs there may be in the English territory located in Latin countries.  I am thirty-two years old, my wife; Jessica is ----------- old and we’ve been married for ------ years. Our circumstances allow us to leave rather quickly in order to serve Jehovah more fully in another country.  I have been a Regular Pioneer since-------------- and a Ministerial Servant for approximately ------- in the -------------------------- Congregation of Some Where City, State, USA.  I was baptized on July of ------- and my spouse, Jessica, was baptized March------- and plans to apply to be a regular pioneer in 2014. I am fluent in English and Spanish, my wife is fluent in English. 

We had the privilege of visiting an English circuit in Chiapas, Mexico and planned on moving there to serve. Due to changes in the English field many congregations including those we visited were dissolved, so our plans have changed. Our eyes and hearts were opened to the needs outside of our circuit and built a desire within us to serve where the need is great. We put our home up for sale in July 2013 and have sold all of our material possessions with the exception of our vehicles. I am currently working part-time online teaching ESL which would allow me to work in any location. Jessica has the prospect of online, part-time employment, but currently works full-time until the house is sold.

Due to our part-time income, we are looking to keep our eyes simple in an area with a low cost of living and preferably a relatively cool climate. Please advise us of any other Branchs we may need to contact. Further information on congregations that could use more kingdom proclaimers, cost of living expenses, or any other information that may be needed for the region would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Your fellow slaves for Jehovah,

Bryan & Jessica Lopez
