We're Done!
After many long hours of burning calories and burning shoe rubber(oh and preaching too!) we finally finished our time this morning. We went to Doug and Kam's for the meeting for service, where a surprisingly large group was crammed in their surprisingly tiny flat. After some confusion and bartering about each pair obtaining enough territory, we were off-to Ealing of course. It actually wasn't to far from their flat, so I wont complain too much. Our group was Doug, Eric, me, and a sister named Agnes. Our menial selection of NH's was finished rather quickly, but with the walk in both directions the time worked out just right. (Doing about 15 doors almost all of them not-at-home took 2 hours. Yeah that's how much walking we have to do sometimes. -Eric) We went home and watched a little football, and then went out to an Asian buffet to celebrate getting our time. We contemplated going into the city, but had no idea what to do and didn't want to spend the underground fare just to walk around. (It was actually kind of freezing today. I don't have a casual jacket so i need to buy one soon. -Eric) We ended up being completely lazy all afternoon, watching the World Cup. The Ghana-Australia game was good, and the Denmark-Cameroon game was very very exciting. In the evening we watched an Indian movie with Sister Elkington; it was called "Paa", I highly recommend it. Not the most exciting day, but one of rest that we needed. We have big plans in store for next week, so stay tuned!

ReplyDeleteBut we have done almost nothing else the last 17 days, so we're jealous of all the parties and beach days. And you still have plenty of time; if you go out an hour after meeting today, its only 1.6 hrs per day-easy

ReplyDelete∙30 years from now the two of you will be joking and recalling many of these events.
∙270,834,961 years from now you will be sharing these experiences with you few BILLION close friends in the new system.
You are working hard and having a great time, but it is also shaping the way you view the world. It is MUCH bigger than our local communities. The international gatherings are so encouraging. My dear young brothers you are tasting the international brotherhood in a way that many of us can only dream of at this time. Savor the experience.
Allow Jehovah to guide you in your "free-time" ahead as well. Seeing you two put Jehovah first in you life is commendable. You make our hearts rejoice as well as Jehovah's. Eccl 11:9-12:1
