River Preaching

For quite sometime we have been wanting to go and preach in an area called Falls Top, this is where half the community is on the river. We stopped in Falls Top as it is on the way to Port Kiatuma, We were going to do the Watchtower study in Port Kiatuma. Anyhow we stopped and talked to this guy who owns a shop, we had talked before of how he would one day be willing to take us to preach on the river. It turned out that on this specific day he was able to and willing to take us. Which is really interesting since we had for some reason brought along with us plenty of extra magazines. We talked to many and it took us around 4 or 5 hours to get it all covered. We could of easily stayed longer but we had to make some visits short so we could cover all. It was plenty of excitement since most are Amerindian and understand Carib which is the very language that the "You can be God's Friend" brochure was just translated. How good it was to read to them in there own language, many were so grateful we even got a watermelon at one house. The people were what made the whole trip worth it. We hope to eventually return and take some Bibles to a few who could read well and really wanted to learn of Jehovah. Some had never really even heard anything about the bible before. I spent a few minutes explaining who Jehovah is and why we are imperfect, even having to explain who Adam and Eve are and the Garden of Eden at one house. They listen so attentively it is amazing!

Aside from the preaching was the wonders of Jehovah's creation, we saw an iguana swimming in the river. Many tropical birds and even a small black and white spotted snake. Well that’s all for now, we encourage you to keep up the good work!
