Hi everyone!
In many ways it is hard to believe that we are already to this part of our trip. In many ways, it seems this year’s trip has gone by fast. That’s a good thing! Kipp and I feel that we had a productive week this week, teaching three nights on Jehovah’s Witness doctrine and the last 2 nights on improving relationships between the brethren. I thought Kipp’s lesson Friday night did a great job in making a connection with everyone on being patient with each other and using caution with the words we speak.
We have met with the brethren 9 times and decided that we would take Saturday off. By Friday night, you could tell they were tired and we felt they needed a break. So we spent today reading, relaxing, and getting some exercise by walking to the city center and then to a park overlooking the sea. We both need the exercise, and getting out of the hotel room was a good thing. We figure we must have walked 2-3 miles. Our highlight of this evening was spent eating at the hotel restaurant.
Sunday looks to be busy as we will be meeting for worship and then we plan on going through the central market (always an adventure). Besides worship, the highlight of the day will be our going to Vera’s home where we will get to spend time with and meet her husband. We’re excited about that.
We’re both doing well...although Kipp has yet to get his sleeping on track. Probably about the time he gets adjusted, we’ll be headed home.
Thanks for your prayers for us. More later!
