Day 27 - A morning in the ministry

This month the congregation is taking part in a campaign to cover some of their seldom worked territory. The theory is (there are no real records) that the rural area we were working in hasn't been covered in about 10 years.

It was a very nice experience. A sister and her mother live in the area, so we were able to have a service group in their home and then walk the 10 minutes to the territory. I think there were 9 of us out.

The houses seem to be haphazardly laid out, but our brothers and sisters knew where they were working. Other than the highway, the roads were dirt, and it rained last night. However, it was quite easy to walk around the puddles and we stayed un "muddied".

I was with Ruth - the sister whose house we met at. She was very good to ask if the householders would like to speak English. If they did, she had me do the call. In the couple of hours we showed one video, placed several tracts, probably 5 brochures, four books, 10 or 15 magazines and had 4 or 5 say they would like us to come back for a study. The same results were had by the other groups. I talked two of the girls into letting me take a photo and they shyly agreed - with the proviso that I not post the photo...so you will have to see it in our photo album later.Leer más
