Lovely Ladies

Bernice(10), Jaylinda(12), Ertina(8), Analeen(11), Pesalyn(7)
This picture was taken after the meeting on Sunday. Only Analeen and Pesalyn are sisters. Ertina lives next door to them on the weekends. Jaylinda, Analeen and Bernice go to the same school. Bernice's grandmother was a Witness until her death. Now, she and her mother study with a sister in our congregation. This Sunday was Analeen and Pesalyn's first meeting. Analeen commented. At the end of the Watchtower study, Ertina and Jaylinda told me that it had been fun.
On this day, the girls wanted to discuss why Jehovah's name isn't in all Bibles and where it came from. After the meeting, we went to the library at the Kingdom Hall to check Psalm 83:18 in a variety of Bibles and then see if there would be an explanation in the Bibles that only use LORD. They were quite satisfied with the answer given.
Analeen and Pesalyn haven't had a personal study yet, but we've been impressed by the knowledge that Analeen has of the Bible. She told us that last year, she found a Bible Story book and read the whole thing. This summer, the girls are going to read the Greatest Man book. They were so excited to get their copy. Pesalyn is seven, so she's going to read the Bible Story book. When we went to eat, they all decided to bring their books in so that they could look at them together.
We are enjoying getting to know these wonderful girls who have a spiritual hunger and a silliness that  makes for a great time together.
