Day 101 – Meeting…preaching…Party time!

Hortensia Reyes (we went to her house for dinner the night
before and then I went in the ministry with her on Sun

The meeting started at 9:00am, much better than 8:00am, huh? It was nice giving the talk on “Looking at Youths from Jehovah’s Standpoint” because there were tons there. After the meeting we went in the ministry. The territory wasn’t as receptive as the day before, but nice to work with new friends.

How cute are they? I think they had more sucess than us.
Who wouldn't listen to them?

The brother Jose Feliciano San Pedro Lopez with his wife
and Leo's son, Jhonny

I got to work with the brother who first started studying with Leobardo many years before. What a privilege to have teamed up on such an enjoyable and rewarding project. You know what they say: “Jose Feliciano San Pedro Lopez planted, I watered, but God kept making it grow”.

We went back to Hermano Jose’s house for refreshments and headed back to Leo’s.

At 2:30 the friends started showing up for our party-the friends everywhere have been so hospitable. We had a big get together at Leo’s and ate a ton, played games and, of course, they made us sit in the middle and interrogated us (Spanish verb “interrogar” just means ask questions, not as strong as English word) for ½ hour. Then, we started playing games. We had to interrupt bible charades to eat our delicious cake. The first day there we went to the pastry shop and the owners are bible students. We bought lots of bread and pastries and cookies. They made the cake for our party-it was like a tres leches with café and ron pope…ridiculous! That was very kind. Afterwards, several more games and, you guessed it…fuimas para bailar. Isn’t there always dancing? Then a million pics with us-I don’t think we’ve posed so much for pics and been this tired since our wedding day. But it was really nice!
