During the week leading up to the Memorial, we had some nice sized groups for field service. This was Thursday's group. The kids had the day off from school, so we had an extra treat with their company!
We took just a few pictures from our Memorial. Wish we had more.....
Jesilin has many reasons for joy. Her goal was to have her whole family attend with her. Her immediate family came. This is her husband and beautiful group of boys. The young man on the far left is her nephew. Her sister, her sister's husband and their kids came. All together, 12 members of Jesilin's family attended. Her sister agreed to a visit this week to answer any questions she might have.
Jesilin's husband, Albert began studying last Thursday with John.
Joel and Joselle (the top of her head is very cute!) along with Joel's mother, Candy were there. Candy is studying like crazy! She'll have her own post as there is much to tell about this dear lady.
Artiko and her son Zac came. She had stopped studying for a while, but has renewed enthusiasm for her study. Her grandfather is a Witness in the Marshall Islands.
Reelein was able to attend since her parents were away and some distant relatives came.
Adrian and his sister, Kayelani were all smiles.
Kayelani gave her first comment at the meeting last night. Amazingly, she didn't pass out, hyperventilate, or vomit! Now, she has set a new goal regarding commenting--to comment during every segment of the meeting. It is always encouraging to hear her new goals and see how she meets them.
Wilson distributed 10 invitations to his neighbors and friends. One man attended and really enjoyed himself.
Our Memorial was held in one of the hotels. There were 252 present. At the Japanese group's Memorial, 16 attended. And at the DOC, 39 attended. That's an attendance of 307 for our congregation of about 100 publishers. Wow! We have a lot of work ahead!
Lovely and very encouraging my friends.
