A Couple Eager Workers!


As you look to the back of this picture, you'll see James and Jonathan patiently waiting for their first assignment from Brother Tim Sell, the head cook on the project. Although they aren't yet 16, Tim's daughter Alyssa told me yesterday that they could work in food service if they had a sponsor. Tim (who's staying with Cecelia and Jason) gladly took on a couple new recruits!
The building itself is going up fast and looking so nice! Roofing appeared to be completed when I was at the site this morning and I'm assuming that masonry will have begun before I get back there this afternoon.
Enjoy the pictures on Dropshots!

It’s Not Field Service, It’s a Party!

The title for this post came from a Brother at the Kingdom Hall today! He expressed it well! We arrived at the Kingdom Hall (Ibirapuera Congregation) for service. The meeting was conducted consecutively in English, Português, French and Spanish. Ps. 110:3 was the verse we considered. A final prayer was said in Português and off we went with our one partner to the territory. It was all walking and there were friends every block. I ended up in a group - my partner Marina has an 8 year old son Benjamin. Also another sister was unable to come, so her partner Christina joined us. Benjamin is the only child in the entire congregation! They have about 100 publishers. The love, attention and care he receives is beautiful! The entire congregation is raising him! The next oldest in the congregation is 17 year old Nathan, who was Jonathan’s partner for the morning. Below is a picture of Nathan, Jon & Benjamin -  Christina is widowed and also lost a daughter in death 14 years ago. She was

Heading out for field service this morning! Yesterday was amazing, but so tiring. We were able to get new SIM cards so we have phone service & internet. I can receive messages, but for some reason I can’t send them on my regular text. It’s best to use WhatsApp or Messenger to reach me if you need to. We exchanged money, bought shoes, bought toiletries and ate dinner. Then showered and hit the hay. We ate at the hotel restaurant just for convenience. Shawn & Jon had burgers & fries, I had cheese ravioli. Obviously the menu wasn’t very exotic. 😉 It is in the low 50s here this morning and folks are all bundled in coats & boots. I’m in a sweater, with bare legs & sandals. The low humidity is refreshing. The hotel breakfast was included and there was a beautiful buffet. You know how hotel coffee is usually watery and tasteless? Not here!! I pulled the spigot and black gold flowed!! Also there was an urn of warm milk to add to the hot coffee. Nice! When we arrived ye

Wallkill Bethel

We got up at about 6AM and started getting ready so we could be at Wallkill about 8AM. Shawn and the boys went down to the hotel restaurant to get breakfast and I ironed shirts and pants and got ready in a male free room! Wallkill was about a 30 minute drive from our hotel in Newburgh and was fairly easy to find thanks to Google. We missed one turn right in the town of Wallkill so had to get directions at the little deli in town. When we arrived, we were able to visit a wonderful display in the lobby about the history of the Watchtower and Awake magazines and the Watchtower organizations radio station WBBR that was in existence in the early days. Very interesting! I also got the "Noah" and "David" DVD in ASL from the literature counter there. So exciting as it's one I don't have! Next, our tour guide Brother Lester Slack came to the lobby to give us the tour of the printery and bindery. Lester has been a member of the Bethel family for over 27 years,
