My Little Corner of the Universe

well, we are back. and what a weekend we had. it was a beautiful weekend. we got to see many old friends and meet new ones. it was interesting when we sang songs. as i would sing, i would stop for a couple of lines and just hear the brothers and sisters sing. it gave me goosebumps. the new publications are wonderful. Jehovah is making it so easy for us to serve him and help others to do the same. all we have to do is take that help (publications, meetings, assemblies) and use them. then there were 52 new brothers and sisters that have simbolized their dedication to Jehovah by baptizm. we had one of the members of the governing body with us that gave us excellent information and counsel. he introduced to us the new publication What does the Bible really teach? and that last talk he gave was amazing. he used maybe like 10-15 minutes to talk to the young people in english, knowing that for many of them, it is hard to learn the truth in spanish, when everything else around them, like school and this country is mainly in english. i couldn't even write notes during that part, because it was just so moving. i hope it touched the heart of every young person in that building to think about their futures with Jehovah and the blessings it will give them. and the drama. wow. brought a tear to our eyes. except for growing up with one beleiving parent, i could really relate to timothy. it showed how he had to face several influences until he chose the wisest thing to do with his life: to serve Jehovah to the fullest.

if there was one word to describe this weekend, it would be joy. we really got to see and experience once more spiritual paradise.
