Orealla

We went to orealla last weekend! It was an amazing and super encouraging trip. Ten need greaters went up on friday night, and we stayed on top of the boat talking the whole 5 hour trip there. After that, the local friends, parted us up and opened their homes to us! It was a great experience. Cai and myself stayed with brother Lennox, the only MS up there, who runs the whole congregation by himself! On saterday, brother Tom Sanchez led us in a boating expidition up the river another few hours! We took the houses on the river between Orealla and Siporuta (not sure how its spelled.) and then we worked the town of Siporuta. Its about a 3 hour walk from the closest Kindgdom hall, which is the Orealla congregation, and doesnt get worked on a regular basis. We had a super long day, starting out in the weeee morning hours and then working until past dark. In siporuta, sage and I only got to talk in 5 houses... this doesnt seem like much, but when every one of those houses, we started a study in! I think our shortest stay at a house was 45 minutes! The truth is deffinetly needed up there! The first house we stopped at in town, the man told us that he would love to learn more about the bible, but no one ever came by him. So we were like, well here we are, and started right in to chapter 3! Another house we took, the man did not seem interested, then his wife yells "are you Jehovah's Witnesses?" She immediatly invited us up into the house, and the man was like, I didnt know you were witnesses! He then sat down with us and we had a nice discussion about armegeddon! Their choice. The lady was like, Ive always wondered what armegedon was, can you explain it to me... ha ha. Thank goodness for reasoning books! We were able to give a good witness. All in all it was an amazing trip!
