Service and Studies With The Fosters

So we have some friends that are visiting and staying with us from South Carolina. They have been wanting to serve where there is more need and they decided to check out Panama. Well, they have been loving service here!! They have been going with us in service and studies and they have been walking and walking and walking!!! But in the short 2 and half weeks they have been here they already started about 6 studies between both of them and visited a congregation, which the Circuit Overseer recommended them, that does not have any elders and only 2 young Ministerial Servants. Needless to say they are in love with the service here!!!
The pictures below are one of the territories we took them too. Lots of walking, but we had such great response and great studies that the walk and crossing the stream was so worth it!!! :)




Justin was trying to balance on a little stone...and yes he stepped right in the water!

 The friends took some pictures of some of our studies that we have here. Which was awesome, because I have been wanting to take some but never had the chance and they were so good at sneaking in the camera for a shot!!
This lady is one of my favorite studies. She has such a humble heart and when she learns something new from the Bible, you should see her face!! She gets so excited! Here we are going over the Organization brochure and she is starting to get all the pieces together and realizing she has found the truth!! It is very true what a Circuit Overseer told us once. The studies that progress and get to baptism, are the ones that we follow every suggestion that has been given to us in The Kingdom Ministery, on how and what to study with them!

This is one of Justins' studies. he is very humble and very receptive about truth. This day he was so sick but he really wanted to study, so he laid on his hammock while they did the study to him!

This is another of our favorite studies. The girl we study with is the one on the far left. She has such a hunger for the truth. Her face lights up everytime she learns something new about the truth. She was the one that in a previous post, her mom had run out and stopped Justin to tell him that her daughter wanted to study and that she had a bag full of our literature all neatly stacked and all read. The little kids around her are her little neighbors. They study with another sister but everytime we are there at the study they come over so I started printing out for them the kids activities from the jw.org website. They love it and they are always there every Saturday waiting for their next activity!



This is another of Justins' studies. He just got baptized in the last assembly. Such a humble and zealous brother!!

Another study of Justin. Young kid in High school. He is so appreciative and wants to learn the truth. It is so nice to see young ones like him have that hunger for the truth and wanting to learn it.


Our friends are here for another 2 weeks and they are so excited to go back and make plans to come back to Panama and serve here. With Jehovah's help we know they will be back enjoying service here in Panama for a longer period of time soon! 

The Foster Family!!

  1. That is very exciting that you will be serving in Ecuador in the Creole field!! Wow!!! That is awesome!! I am sure Jehovah will bless you in all your efforts and you will really enjoy your service there. Hopefully you will have a blog so we can keep up with your service there! :) I think on the Boca del Toro side of Panama there is a lot of Creole on the Atlantic side we are in the Pacific side. Boca is a beautiful place to visit!!!
