Preaching in Salinas

Yesterday we had the privilege of going to preach in an isolated territory. Salinas, Bolivia it is located in a National Preserve. It took us about 2 hours to get there by car. A brother from Tarija and 4 others came for the weekend to help us. We had a wonderful time. Cooking together, sharing experiences and cramming 14 people in one car. At one point I was in so much pain I started to cry. I felt bad, but the brother stopped the car and Justin massaged the blood back into my sore leg. Justin and 2 other brothers sat on top of car. A brother and sister that live out there made lunch for everyone. They do not get to come to the meetings often because they live so far and do not have a car. It cost them $40 or so to drive home from the meetings. Which is a lot anywhere, but especially here. We had great experiences. Justin and I both started a study. We are going to go back twice or more a month to study with them. We also found deaf ones and talked to them about God and shared the Simple version of the brochure Listen to God with them. They were so happy to talk to someone. They loved talking about Jehovah. All in all it was a great day. The sun baked down on us, but we knew Jehovah was keeping us going.

As you can see there is no really good road there. It is just a lot of rock and dirt.

Our new meeting sign. I bet we are the only ones with a picture on ours. :)

Taking a break under the rare tree. Looks like something in Africa!

Enjoying a rest moment.

My new study, Vilma and I. She was so happy to study. She had the book already and read half of it but did not understand it all.
