5 days in country

We are all here! Scotts had some difficulties with a plane delay and then after leaving the airport realized they had forgotten a bag and had to go back. They arrived late with the Rhoades Friday night.

Saturday Adam and Jeanette went out in service and their transportation to the territory was a flat bed truck as you see above. They had great tales to tell of their morning. We went for a swim and then got ready for the meeting at 5. Adam gave the talk to about 50-60 persons. He was very kind and when he turned to a scripture he said it both in Spanish and English. Many of us got to comment in Spanish. Very friendly congo, many are need greaters from various parts of the world - Japan, Spain, Switzerland, Canada, the Congo and one from Washington State.

Today, Sunday, we (Adam, Nathan, Shirley, Paula, Rosie and I) went out in service. We overwhelmed them a little as we were so many and not many of us speak Spanish well. So off we went to territory but this time we were on foot and climbed the highway of death which was nearly the death of us gringos!

The people are very willing to talk and listen. My companion and I (really just my companion) talked with a young girl, about 10 years old. She has very intelligent and knew much about the Bible. When asked a question she would comment and say this is what most think but then tell us what she thinks. She quoted all of Psalm 23.

We did a few more houses and then our group changed. My partner became a young brother that is from Switzerland. He has been in country 3 weeks and did not know Spanish before coming. He understand much but speaks little. I can speak much but understand little. We managed to place two magazines and a book in the two places we visted.

Adam placed 4 books today and yesterday did 3 houses in two hours. There are Catholic and Evagelical primarily here. We headed on home and had seven persons in our Mitsubishi Lancer!

It was time to do laundry and then head for the beach again. Scubing is awesome and there are many places to lounge and order a margarita and a morsel. What a life! Then there are also places that you can get wi-fi which Rosie said the above picture is Adam epitomized!

The other picture is of a man who is a Bible student in the Creole congo. The Martinezes noticed that this man had a song book. They decided to pull off and investigate. He was sitting on the beach trying to learn the kingdom songs so that he could be able to sing better at the kingdom hall! What appreciation!

Tomorrow we off to Alemon Falls on donkeys and horses followed with a hike and swmim. Woohoo! Tuesday a group of us go to construction and another on Thursday.

Also, there is the best beer here! Even Cindy and I like it! It's called EL Presidente! The coffee is another story. Tell the Arabs to move over as they have competition from the Dominicans! Oi! But great pastries!

Well TTFN!
