A Small "Gira" With Some Friends and Service Experiences.

Last Wednesday, my good friend that is now serving in Chitre, invited me over to her congregation, because they were doing a small "gira" to a small town they had not been at for some time now. So I was happy to go! It was a pretty large group that went out. As I had mentioned a on previous blog, there is a group of brothers and sisters that come from Mexico or Costa Rica that are sent from the Mexico branch. Chitre, the congregation where my friend is at, received 18!!!!!! So many young ones came from Mexico to help out. So that was part of our group on Wednesday. It was so much fun!! It was extremely hot that day, but the response on the field was amazing! 

Love everybody happy faces. We were all tired but what a joy we find in Jehovah's service!!

So this was part of our group coming back after five hours of walking in service.
A funny thing happened to us while we were all there. This day was January 1st, so many brothers didn't work and that's why they took advantage of this day for service. Well...when we went to the territory there were about 2 cars that brothers took into this territory, that is about 10km from any main road. So, we didn't realize that these brothers that have the cars left earlier. So we said no problem, we will take the little bus back out. Well...we found out that there were no buses that day because of the holiday, that can take us out of this town. We were so tired, but we said ok we will start walking out. But then one of the brothers said let me talk to the guy that lives in this house, some random house, and see if he can take us all out, since he has a pickup truck. He talked to the guy, but the guy said he couldn't, he would get fined if he took people in the back. So, oh well back to walking, but that same guy said, "you know what let me take four of you out and then come back for the rest", little by little I can take all of you out to the main road. While some of us were getting in his truck another truck of a neighbor pulled in and offered to take four more. Then they just made an extra trip to pick up the rest.
We were so relieved!! When we got to the main road, we offered the guy a donation and he would not take a penny, we insisted but he said no. So then we offered him the magazines and he said those I will take!! What a blessing from Jehovah!! He takes care of us in every single way, sometimes in little things we wouldn't expect!!!
