Colombia South America 2015

OK, so we traveled over an hour to meet with the Rionegro and El Bosque congregations and go out in field service. We were each paired with a local publisher who fortunately was fluent on Spanish, but unfortunately not so much in English. However, we all clearly spoke the same language spiritually as their love was overwhelmingly apparent. We couldn't break away.

BTW, here is a picture of our "car group" for service. There were 38 of us, plus another 38 (the local publishers) on another bus - in one territory! Over 75 preaching in one territory at the same time! Geoff's partner was Victor. He placed 4 sets of magazines in maybe 8 doors. Almost everyone was similar. But they only make return visits if they get the name of the person since so many live in the same home. We used Google Translate app alot. It can sometimes get the point across, but often has some weird translations that don't make sense. For example, Victor wanted to know if he could "tragedy a gift" when he wanted to give a gift to someone. :-)Read more
