On Saturday I was out preaching in the morning and it was so hot. For a few minutes I was like man I just feel like going home it is to hot and there was not breeze. A few minutes after I was thinking that the wind started to blow and it cooled down. I think that Jehovah knew that I couldn't handle it any more and because he is so Good he sent me a breeze or at least that is what I told me self. I agreed to go a return visit with another sister but my car was really far away and one of our elders had his car and offered to drive us back but we decide not it is OK we will walk back and finish the last part of the territory up. Next thing we know the elder is pulling up beside us with 2 cold bottles of water and insist on taking us to my car so we don't have to walk so far. The water was great just what I needed because I had forgot mine at home. Hit the spot perfect I almost drank the whole bottle in four gulps. We finished the morning at the Grecio family house. They knew I would be hot, because I always am and it was hot day even to Panamanian brothers and sister, so they gave me and the sister I was with some homemade lemonade and put the fan on me for a little while, while the brother told us some stories. I wish I would have gotten a picture of it. Sitting in the chair at there house with the lemonade in my hand and the fan on was just what I need and wanted. Then on top of that the Brother thanked me for my bible highlights comment on Thursday regarding one of covenants. That made me so happy because after I had comment on Thursday I had not felt good about my comment. I had written it out but I changed it as I was saying it because I had made it way to long but because I found the subject so interesting I got to excited about it and I was worried that my point had gotten lost. So it was very satisfying to know that someone had appreciated it and understood it. Then it was nice because we all continued talking about it for a while. Spiritual conversation is so up building. I felt like Jehovah was rewarding me for my hard work during the morning in more then one way. Our God is oh so Good.
That afternoon the couple I live with asked me to come with them on there studies because there was a young girl of one of there studies that they wanted me to met so that I could start studying with her, so I went happily. The young girl is 13 years old and her mother has been studying for like a year now on and off because they have a farm out of town so she can be hard to pin down but her mom understands things really quickly and she says that she wants to come to our District Convention this weekend at least for one day. I hope they are able to come. The young girl is kind of shy but was excited to study and she had her own What the Bible Really Teaches book from sitting in on her mom's study. We started in chapter one and it went very well. When I had her by herself she was a little less shy and now she understands clearly that Jehovah is interested in what happens in our lives and that he is only permit bad things to happen but not the cause. She is excited for our next study. We went to a couple of other studies and return visits. The last study of the day was in an area called La Uva which means the grape. I have no idea why it is called that. To get to the study you have to go on a dirt road for a while. The dirt in this area is like clay so the road get really bad in the rain and in the afternoon it rained up there. Getting there we skated around some in the mud but it wasn't to bad. Good thing we were in 4 wheel drive car. Here is what the car looked like as we got to the studies house.

The whole car had mud on it and driving back home was even harder with all of this mud already on the tires but we made it home safe and sound. |

Elvis and Kris Correa. They area great couple and amazing in the ministry. |
We made it there safe and sound and the study was great. It was with a younger couple their baby and there mom. They are slow to understand but love learning and have come to a couple of meeting and want to come to the assembly. They were very friendly and gracious. The wife disappeared for a while and then called her husband away and they came back with food and tea for us. The tea was wonderful. See as they learned that Satan is the ruler of this world was cool to see the light come on. Elvis and Kris are great teachers so being with them is a nice because the student learns and I learn to. It was a great Saturday, a blessing from Jehovah.
Good to see you're being well taken care of. :) Jehovah appreciates your efforts, and so does the congregation!
ReplyDeleteI'll pray for more Panamanian breezes. :-) We love you, Leah. It is beautiful to hear your joy and Jehovah's blessing. You are bringing so much to your congregation and your territory. Jehovah knows his tools. And He put you were he can best use you. I am so happy you are in Panama.
