Circuit Assembly - Studies - photos
Hi everyone :D
Hope everyone is well :) thank you all for your emails and lovely comments. We love hearing from you all, it really is a boost of encouragement to us, so please keep it up :)
So this past week has been amazing and hot as well. We had the privilege of being the host CONG ("congregation" for those in the US of A ;P) for the Circuit Assembly, so we had the privilege of having the C.O and D.O with us for a week. There where so many encouraging points brought out and awesome ways to be more effective in our ministry. I got the privilege of taking the D.O to my new study, Manuel, which is a young boy (13) soaking up the truth and loving the studies we are having. We had a great time.
We had our Pioneer Day on Friday which was AMAZING... very encouraging... the focus was on "Joy", and that it comes from within us because its a fruitage of the spirit. There where many points that showed us how to cultivate Joy and when to use it and in what way to use it.
Sarah put such a great effort in to understand what was being said... I wrote down as many points as I could and shared them with her at the end of the day. She soaked it all up. She is doing so great in keeping her Joy even though its so very hard when your learning a language... such a big encouragement for me to work as hard as I can :D
Friday afternoon I helped in the setting up for the Circuit Assembly which they had in a Mini Stadium... it was very simple but they say it was a massive improvement from the year before... They plan to improve it even more so for next time... The brother keep trying to do there best, so faith strengthening...
It was so funny on the Sunday of the Assembly they announced that if anyone could help with the packing up and cleaning it would much appreciated and that they would start packing up around 30min after the session ended so there would be time to encourage one another... well as soon as the prayer finished all the "brother" started packing up the chairs and the stage and everything... they where so quick... taking bags of chairs and everything... there was so much help... I closed my eyes for 2 seconds and all the chairs where gone and the sisters had started sweeping... well it wasn't that fast but you get the point :D
Anyways Bro David (who got assigned from the couples school to our cong about 8 months ago) and me where like, "Whats going on... didn't they announce that we would pack up 30min after, so we can converse and be encouraged a bit??"
well the reason it got done so quick was that the stadium they hired for the Assembly happened to be a Soccer (football) Stadium with a few fields so play soccer, and of course there as a big match about to start in 30min... CONG vs CONG hahahahah well brothers & sisters vs brothers & sisters. ahhahaha so in a way there would be conversing and we hope there was encouragement too hahaha
It was funny.
We miss you all and Love you all every much.
Here are some more photos :)
YEah at the end of the day... we are so tired...

PHOTOS... PHOTOS... and a bit of an update :D
Hello all,
So it has been a busy week... WE MOVED IN TO OUR NEW HOME :D wooohoooo... and we moved in on Wednesday morning... was a bit rushed but it worked out well :) we have our little fridge, stove and washing machine :) we bought a mattress on the day we moved in.... and the brothers that live right next to us have leant us a bed frame and a little table with two chairs :D hehehe so we are set... safe to say mums big box of gifts have helped us settle in really quick.
Sarah is loving the new kitchen and cooking up a storm while I eat as if there is a storm coming hehehe. It truly has been a blessing from Jehovah how everything has worked out. So smooth with no real problems :)
WE BOUGHT A MOTOKAR hehehe which a lot of you know it as a Tuk Tuk... a three wheeled motorbike :) We bought it so we could save on taxi rides everywhere, also to get to our Studies and Return Visit easier instead of walking everywhere... it has been a huge help.
So the ministry... It has still been awesome... Sarah has 2 studies now and she is doing so well with them.. the way it works here is you visit them nearly ever couple of days for a study... and same goes with return visit... it is great. We will be going to one of Sarah's studies this afternoon. We are looking forward to it :) My ministry is going awesome as well... I went back to a return visit that was meant to be a girl but I got her brother, I talk to him a bit and showed him the Great Teacher book and he said he would love to have a study... I am going back to him tomorrow afternoon with the brother from France, Thomas. We also met 3 people on one map the other day that said their home all day, everyday, and would love us to go visit and have a study whenever... the only trouble is there a bit far away.... oh wait thats why we have the motorKar :D hehehe
Saturday during the meeting there was a storm and the electricity was going on and off during the meeting... which is a problem because the meeting is during the night ahahha... so the brother was using a phone as a light to conduct the watchtower and everyone had to yell out there answers... was an amazing experience... and the highlight was when we sang the last song without music... it sounded beautiful :D it was a fun night :D
Anyways here are some more photos as promised :D
The French Couple - been here for over 6 months
The joys of mud... so much mud :S
