Friday was our pioneer meeting with the elders in our congregation. It was a really encouraging meeting and we had 12 pioneers. We added up the years and all together had over 125 complete years of full time service! The meeting was at a pioneer couples house and afterward a couple of the local sisters made us all dinner. It was amazing! We had all sorts of Indian/Guyanese food. One of the pioneer couples, the Hollenbecks, served in Africa for a few years and just got back from the international convention in Trinidad. They had some wonderful experiences that they shared with us from both.
This weeks been a little hard trying to reach some of our studies because of the holidays. Not only is there Christmas Eve and Christmas, but the day after is also a big holiday here. Saturday we had 7 bible studies planned, but only 4 were at home. They went really good. We usually study with the Great Teacher or You Can Be Gods Friend DVDs. We also draw a lot of pictures to help explain things. After the studies, we stopped by Shameniels aunts house. They made us lots of food, and let us feed their monkeys! They have two. One is Jack and he's really friendly. We gave him cake and a piece of candy. The other was really small and not used to being around people. He took candy from us but then started hissing at us so we left him alone. We did a lot of walking on Saturday, got a little burnt. Also received two marriage proposals and were called red and white meat. A successful day if you ask me.
Yesterday we went into New Amsterdam. There is an ASL group there that has a full ASL meeting the last Sunday of every month. It was really nice to meet all the friends. So many bible studies came! We brought 2 with us. Niasha and Natalie. Both of them and almost all the other studies commented during the Watchtower which was really awesome:) Everyone stuck around for a while afterwards, but we finally had to leave before it got too late. We cant wait for the next one!
Today we have no studies planned so we're just hanging out around home. Tomorrow its back out to Blackbush:)
