First though, today was a sad day, we had a good-bye lunch for 9 of our new friends leaving. Four IV's and 5 locals. So, we had hamburgers, french fries, Coca Cola and ice cream. That was the only nice thing about it. We will miss them all. One couple are leaving here to go to their home in Ecuador (for the past couple of years). They will be there one month, then to Mexico where one of their family is serving and they will be there one month and then back to Australia where they are from and then they move to Cambodia. So much work to do in Jehovah's service. The other couple just had an anniversary and there was a party held for them. It was so fun. A bunch of singing and laughing and the boys here are so talented. This brother plays a mean harmonica.
Others played the keyboard and guitars and sang. We all had a great time.
We also spent the weekend at a brother and sister's house. I work with her in the dining room and she is from Germany. We went in service and I got to offer the tract again. It is quite a challenge but the woman took the tract and Susie continued the conversation for a while. I had no idea what anyone was saying after I said, "Jesuchristo."
Our circuit assembly is this weekend and it is here where we live but in Spanish. We have had our entire circuit assembly emailed to us here and so we will be listening to it this weekend. We have been wanting to do so, and now we get to. Our first English meeting in a long time.
Last weekend we went to Le Tigre. It is a very nice area about an hour away and we strolled through the city, ate our sack lunch, except Neil also had to have a Big Mac. We walked through all the shops and had a really nice time. It's nice to get to see some of the country while still working hard.
Well I'm going to show you the assembly hall now.
This is the track for the retracting wall. It takes all day to retract it.
Baptismal Pool area. You can say "pool" here.
The school.
Well, I will post the new photos just as soon as Neil takes them. They will be amazing because things are going so fast.
Well, the update on Gaston and Gabby. Two funny stories. One day he told me to put these little bowls on the table for lunch, for dessert. Then he changed his mind after I had started and said no he wanted little plates instead. No problem, right? Well, instead of just saying,"Oh, I changed my mind," which he couldn't say anyway, he said, "Cindy, abort, abort, abort." I started laughing. Then he got worried, I think because of the last words he tried in English, and he immediately wanted to know what "abort" meant. He heard it on Mission Impossible. How Funny!!
Next story, I can no longer post secret stuff about him. Gabby found my blog, hit translate and now knows everything!!!! So I will end with a photo of one of his delicious creations. It was breakfast food and many of the young brothers wouldn't touch it. Too bad for them, it was delicious.
Good Night! Till Next Week!
Love, Neil & Cindy
