Some more new friends

After some of the last pictures that I have posted of new friends I found out in service, I thought you all might like these a little better.We found these guys way out, living under the roots of this big tree.

No, We Didn´t Get Blown Away

Well, we survived the hurricane. Our little apartment was transformed into a makeshift shelter for some in the congregation. We had an elderly couple from the hall staying with us during the storm. They are former special pioneers, and she, who is still pioneering on the infirm list, has been pioneering since 1960 when the ban here was lifted. Anyway, we had them, as well as another sister with 3 little kids with us for the night. We borrowed this big hunk of foam pad for the kids to sleep on. The storm really turned out to be not much of anything though. It passed far enough away from us that we only really got just a regular storm. The families that stayed with us got a little bit of watter in their homes but no real damage.

There hasn't been much else going on here, because Matt and I both have colds (still). I'm just getting over it, while he is just catching it. At least I have managed to avoid the pink-eye epidemic that is going around. And I'm not exaggerating when I say epidemic. Probably at least 75% of our congregation has had it in the past month.

The only other big event that has happed is that our literature finally arrived. Everything that we had ordered for the congregation since April (well, half of everything) all arrived last week. We really needed it, because we have been out of Teach books and Bibles for over two months now, and out of brochures for a month. That and a month and a half's worth of magazines all came at the same time. It was about as close as a bunch of Witnesses can get to, well, to the morning of a certain pagan holiday in December.

Just a note before we all get blown away

I am told that a big storm is heading our way. All of you probably know more about it than I do. We had the small storms pass by last weekend, but we just had nothing but rain from that. It wasn´t even a hard rain, just several days of it.

Sorry I havn´t posted in a week or two. The aforementioned rain had a little bit to do with that. Plus I have a cold. (don´t worry, I am happy with my cold - The whole town has either pink-eye or a cold, so I´ll take the cold any day)

I wish I had more to report, but that is about all that is going on down here. The new service year is here, so it´s time to preach preach preach. However, there hasn´t been alot of preaching done yet due to the weather.

Speaking of the new service year, a little birdie told my that a certain pioneer in Lewistown made 25 years! Congrats to Rose!
