to be nothing but jungle now the colony spread out over a 100 square kilometers and $3000.00 inhabitants. when they built roads paved the way for development. in spite of their respect to the doctrine some believers find modern conveniences hard to resist. for france it all began when he had to buy a fine for work. taking a huge response showing it to. us. for something. i feel very guilty. at the very. reality. see there are so many good. friends discovered the internet and a love for music the rhythm of country and western radically changed his family's life. very very fast.

their new life. style for us. if we really had their ears. so sure. they could levers. and then abruptly france switches off is fine. for my brother. really but i don't like to see them. if they don't see the point it will be more happy to me that maybe in the future they will start to know more. about the reality. busy. france has to be careful even around his brother if anyone finds out that he has

a phone he risks communication. that is what happened to him he used to provide medical care for the families here he lives next to 2 friends. in. kind of a surgery. to sit down here or sit down here and then have a speech and then the probe would probably if that pan and there are of them then i would have them there don't cover them up schachter all the people from the british kings here in just. a preacher said. yeah. for 20 years bill how was the calling you still a doctor though he has no formal training his mother was a nurse and he taught himself by studying medical textbooks people to find in order to save lives. and books. and i

felt like i had to have it because there were so many accidents and. then i felt like an obligation to call. a taxi or to call on the doctors or i said that was so useful for me and i had it then and the they were complaining about that and they wanted me tole told lose it and i said no. that decision cost him dearly because he broke the rules he lost everything. that they then knew that they would excommunicate me the day before i would say i heard about at least 60 patients at least 60 that went on the whole day up told late in the night the next day i got excommunicated no one comes again so that stops me from 60 to overnight to 0. since his expulsion will has been shunned by the

community these days he sells time as an hour's drive from home. he decided to found a new non-conformists congregation within the conservative community. mennonites behind the wheel of a pickup trucks a surprising size they belong to the dozens of families that now attend the new church. from all appearances these believe is still seem to abide by the traditional mennonite codes of conduct but on closer inspection there are undeniable signs of change even from the pulpit the sermon is read from a smartphone there's no bible to be seen. all the gospel of matthew the 11 disciples went to galilee to the mountain where jesus had sent them when

they saw him they worshiped him but some doubt it. vilhelm instigated the construction of the new church. oh yeah. because music is. only what it's not allowed to drink. and all that what. strong. this development troubles more traditional mennonites they believe that souls are being lost. is one of those traditionalists he's joining several other families who decided to leave police to set up a new colony in peru one small move to the old who would. like build out more tradition. and a community so that they will be more more more i don't know exactly how to

explain but the people are more conservative more people together. after i am a foul mouth will embark on a new adventure with his wife and 7 children even though he's invested a lot in his life here in little police. so this is the house what i had. to 1st find so now 'd. i want to live it so let 4 out of the now if they want to change or have a better one so they can put a new one so that's how i'm thanking now and i want to sell it for everything and the land for our prime prove represents the promise of an even better life the 1st point. like there it sounds like it's. everything at sounds better to work here. having. having more

only their most precious possessions well might a trip to peru that includes tractors and machinery needed to clear roads. a country house a few things they're not big farmers and in the country so that's why we think about we can care cheaper we have it here and we care it over there it's cheaper than we buy it from brazil or anywhere 1st of billy's city then by boat yes by boat right. the container will arrive 2 months after they do there isn't much room left but has a surprise in store for his wife he's going to take their marriage bed the only reminder of the past life. is the dead so that we have already once your wife want to say yeah i want that to keep death she want to keep the beds so she will be happy there not lose everything should lose that they got none but

not everything. you need. it's the evening before their departure. family is feeling a princess especially is watching elena. birth america it will be difficult there we had everything here we have to start all over again. at the moment their biggest fear is the flight no one has been on an airplane before. at times are you afraid of flying. not yet but i don't know how i'll feel when i have to board. and you have and how do you feel about going through that i'm really excited really is. it yes i can't wait. and we'll see who gets on the plane 1st and if i don't want to be 1st.

of next. 3 hours later they arrive at the airport in police city did the 1st of the group to get there. this is where the adventure truly begins. is the 1st time what i am taking the plane for that's what i'm telling my children now and which in 43 years i want to go with the plane so now my children all day i'll be all they can go but with together a long drive and yet get them there i'll let the world go and i will go so it's going to be great. the rest of the group have also arrived 7 families $53.00 people in total. they've all booked one way tickets no one

plans to return and. it's time to say goodbye. parents kind to the airport to make the most of the last few moments with the family. there are no hogs book uses a simple hand. everyone appears calm and composed. but i can't quite hold back richie is she doesn't know if she'll ever see her son or grandchildren again. to take a new huge leap into the unknown. the challenges begin with the escalator.

on. me. baby. are you scared. let me know either this is fine. it's a bit shaky. our prime seems excited but his wife ellen is a little anxious what's that clouds clouds yes clouds. were flying over clouds i was wondering why there was so much smoke.

a journey will take 24 hours after a stopover in panama they arrived in lima the capital of peru. while waiting for their final flight to paul culpa if you can keep their eyes open no one has slept much since they left billy's. just. lazy lazy. lazy shit on. a long trip. in. the sprawling group of mennonites does not go unnoticed. the air force employee who checks in their luggage is curious. she knows where they're headed and asked them about us but why are you going to pull culpa we want

to work there work ok and that welcome we bought land there and for catalyst and we're going to work at it if this is. what will you grow because it will grow corn beans saw a melon you cumbers peppers and tomatoes and all and will keep chickens. where will your children go to school it's pretty are you sure you get any feedback and i will build a school the there is one area but we'll build one the young inventor believe that you simply haven't seen i'm surprised. peter i didn't think it was possible to live out there but i'm happy for you that their daughter was honest and that it will always surprise they don't know you were days yet and when you left a lot of people they are surprised they didn't know that about us and. asking for

where are you coming where you want to go so what happens to what's going on. because they don't know you know and they don't know is did look people saw them but they sometimes if they think about travelling but but not so i've grown so many in the group on so many baggage. the mennonites take the 3rd and final flight this one's to compound a town move east of lima it's close to the amazon rainforest they've traveled nearly 3500 kilometers. upon arrival a few mosher taxis awaiting the mennonites as something of an attraction here too. there's a row over here. with

the largest court in the region is the gateway to the amazon the city has around 200000 inhabitants. vendors from surrounding villages come here to sell their goods. opera is delighted and stop such bright. looks at the beautiful yeah. there's a look. around and a nice island so it looks like there were lots of moments yeah and

that all of. it's very clear. let's have lots of alone then it's all right here i think here me what can work like we're how we like to because i see the people is flowing and lots and lots of people thought of me and they make different then i'm merely because it is so poor and so. let people on everything tight. the fast boats leave from their. brand has no time to lose you look police with the bare minimum so he needs to buy a few supplies before heading into the rainforest but 1st he has to change money. say come and count the dollars this is our primes in time savings 30 years of work now he's investing it all in his future that we

sell our fish and. whatever what are the options. and i get the money and then a change. of buying things more by higher land or open my land that. has a total of $18000.00 u.s. dollars not much to start a new life that's why the group vice things in bulk to save money 1st thing on the list mattresses. you and me. all together because all parents and i have a different price that's why we are all together going and buy things. that's not what this one is hard it would be like sleeping on the ground like.

the day is drawing to an end in part but i promise work has just begun tomorrow he will take an exploratory expedition to the new colony. i said apples apples vitamins come and get your app owes. me anything prime has reserved a seat on the 1st go to t. have a plan come the last milledge before the colony young man another member of the group is accompanying him. the trip to take 2 days on. a tributary of the amazon. no. problem. but he was like nothing but play like wandering every day. that day all. day every day. but to say that. a few hours later there were no more buildings inside nothing

but long stretches of forest but that doesn't trouble abra on the contrary. that's what i like. great basketball but. i thought that's what i like that's what it looks like a nice guy looks like it's quite strong on our power budget grow that gap are much like our money are. up to 48 hours on the post on from his nearly reached his personal paradise. we're almost there yes not far and out. how much longer. about half an hour. but there's more to come opera in your hand take another much smaller boat it's the

only way to reach the new high and deep in the heart of the amazon. hardly anyone traverse. says the river at this point. and once they touch land it's still not over they've got another 90 minutes on the amati bumpy road. you hear that. one. at one point johann an opera have to get out and push still and nothing can dampen operands enthusiasm of. the road is very difficult. but they have they

that's enough luckily we could take the road otherwise we'd have had to walk and. that's nothing compared to how it was when we came with all our luggage. around 15 minutes living here on and around in the middle of the jungle without electricity or running water. not to be done our prime and his family will have to live in tents because iran able to build a house of their. own when will it be finished. he says one way he have work and maybe 2 or 3 days more and then he ready. just 2 weeks to build a house mennonites
