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...
