Went in FS with our new congregation Saturday, and joined them in doing the invite work, DC in 3 weeks. Had an excellent time, went in FS with some friends that we have known for 45 years, and 3 of the 6 are regular pioneers! And the rest are fully invested in PGN.
How strange it was to see GREEN thigs. Trees, grass, weeds, and the variety & beauty of Missouri. That is 1 thing we missed in mexico, was how green this state is. We worked down a lane that had a minimum of 3 acres with each home, with many that had anywhere from 3 to 20 acres I'd guess.
While we loved almost (won't miss the sidewalks) everything in Mexico, we are enjoying the beauty and tranquility of the territory that makes up a part of the territory in Pacific, Mo where we are attending. We did 4 hrs Saturday, this was before my cardio conversion on Monday, so I was still out of breath and tired feeling, but it was a driving territory and that was perfect for me.
Then today was a Big day. went to early morning service to meet small group which ended up being 5 of us, and did car lots, parks, gas stations etc. I left 4 mags with those we talked to as well as invited to DC. Was nice to be out again. When we were in Dolores it was FS if not every day, then every other day. And between having to work in April and May, the when we got back to the high desert, I had the arrthymia start, then the last 3 week dealing with that, I finally had some energy to get back out in the service. So we got 5 hrs in today, then Ted took us out to lunch. I was pretty good, got a salad, Elaine had a beautiful fruit plate.
Doesn't that look great. I wished I had ordered that instead of my salad, She took 1/2 home with her. That was a lot of fruit.
Then we came home about 3, took a nap, because thus cong has WED mtgs. No fun after a long day already. But the parts were good, and got to meet & greet the friends after mtg. But you all know Elaine, she is an early bird to bed person, so we may have to adjust ministry to different days with mtg that night.
Ted made some of his returns, and they were in spot close to Meremac river, saw a deer, several bluebirds, cardinals, a red fox, wildlife everywhere.
Well that is all for our 1st post in new congregation. Jehovahs people no matter where your at are loving and appreciative. The talks were good, after being in Dolores with such a high level of spiritual people, there wasn't a drop off in parts or talks, so that was nice.
We'll see if we can fins some sheep here and encourage & be encouraged by the friends.
Love Tom & Elaine
