Our Kingdom Hall Dedication & More
So today we had the privilege of attending our Kingdom Hall dedication. Our hall had been remodeled due to the building being lop sided. They had to call it a remodel by the city standards, but in reality it is a completely new hall. We started the day out in service and Justin and I went on a Bible study of his. Then to lunch with a family here. They invited a lot of brothers and sisters who worked on the Kingdom Hall. Justin ate cow stomach and cow utter. I tried a smidge of the cow utter. Not my thing at all! Ew! Then we got ready for the dedication. Got dressed and went to the Kingdom Hall. They had food there, but I could not eat because I was so full. The meeting was very nice and since our hall is not that big the brothers rented the Colleseo for everyone who could not fit in the Kingdom Hall. They then broadcast the whole meeting on Skype. It was really neat. After we all went over there and they had skits, dramas, and singing from the 3 congregations in our Kingdom Hall. We have video but there is no way we can download it from here. :)
Other then that not much has been going on. We go in service everyday except Monday and Wednesday. Which is wearing me out a little bit, because service is physically very hard and hot here. But the rest days really help. We start everyday at 7:30 am because it is bright by 6 am and gets very hot quick. We stop around 10 am or so. Then we go on studies or return visits. How I wish to drive in a car for awhile. :) We are enjoying it here very much. We get from one place to another by taxi usually and get a chance to preach a lot. Which for us is unusual and we forget to bring our Bibles with us. But we are starting to learn slowly. :)
So far we have only a bed and a table ( that the Marsdens lent us). We are looking forward to furniture very much. I dislike having all of my clothing in suitcases still. But I am learning gran paciencia (great patience) here. Tomorrow we go to immigration to turn in our paperwork for our carnet (your identity card here). After we are going to the humungous market here for the first time and then later we will go to the Expo Sur which is like a county fair here. Tomorrow is very busy so I better go and get some sleep. Talk to you all soon! Miss you all and hope to hear from you!
