Yesterday part of our group when to construction and part to preaching. The congregation has started their invitation work for the district assembly to be held the last of July. The first time that there was a special tract campaign the Witnesses said they could not stay to talk, the people asked if they had done something to offend them that they were not going to stay. Now after so many campaigns the people understand.
The construction is going quite quickly despite the unusually hot weather. (It's somewhat comforting that the locals think its hot too!) So it was Steve & Alexis Scott, Paula & Keri, Jenni and I that went yesterday. Some moved more concrete blocks, some turned cement, some helped in making cement and we all whenever possible sat and tried to cool off. By the afternoon there was no shade to be found on the whole site and even the brothers who have been doing this works for years were feeling the heat. But there was not a disgruntled spirit but one of empathy.
The different ways of doing things is quite amusing. There has yet to be a safety meeting and we got to see the strength of these brothers and the willing attitude and that a little play makes things easier. Check out the videos.
