The past two weeks have been exciting times of activity, with great support in the ministry and plenty of time spent with friends. This week we are enjoying the Circuit Overseer’s visit. He and his wife come from Belize, and cover three countries and several languages within their circuit. Our treat so far has been … More Paris: a belated update
It was bright, hot, and early when we were dressed and Enrique met us outside of our house to take a bus to the market with him. (This is another person who has truly looked out for us and extended his friendship to us since we’ve been here.) The market was less crowded than usual, … More Paris: lovely day in león
Initially, I thought today would be about our day in Granada, but it developed into something much more. I knew the type of brotherhood we have is the only of its kind. It truly brings strangers close. Still, relying on your brothers and sisters for knowledge or advice about their homeland and their companionship just … More Paris: unique to us
Today was another long day in service, one that ended with me coming in the house sweaty and with dust all over my feet and the bottom of my skirt. In short, it was a nice day. There was such an interchange of encouragement and two Bible studies were started. One with a man who … More Paris: 1 Peter 5:6,7
The days seem long and eventful here. Our days are filled with the ministry, study, and it seems, plenty of association with friends from our congregation.

Still, their is a certain joy that comes from making sacrifices for the kingdom, leaving what you’re … More Paris: everyone who has left houses…
As soon as the plane landed, I felt the heat: humid and steamy. Groggy conversation in Spanish after a long flight filled the silence as we filed off the plane to Managua, Nicaragua, the subject of my prayers and day dreams for months. I had no idea what to expect, and I have to admit, … More Paris: It didn’t take long…
Throughout my time in the truth, Jehovah has placed people in my life that helped shape my foundation. Two of which are in my own home. My mom and my sister. Family members can really be dear friends. Do not take their unconditional love for granted! I have developed an appreciation for the support, companionship, … More Paris: love letters
Strange things happen when a bookworm and a basketball lover meet. Well….actually, nothing happens. Just passing greetings. Until, that is, they realize the love for Jehovah and the ministry that they have are completely on the same page. That’s pretty much how the friendship blossomed between Gizelle and me. And now, with just a month … More Paris: Strange things happen
