Day 5

Thursday morning we were able to sleep in a bit-yay!! Our neighbor, Cazzy, walked us over to Joann's house where there was a group gathering to help the deaf prepare for meeting. We drew the answers on a white board of sorts (it was actually some left over materials from the Kingdom Hall roof!)


Bella showcasing some of our drawings.

On the left is Domingo, a deaf Bible study that has been progressing really well.

Joann

Joen -also a study making good progress. Together, Joen and Domingo act like they are doing some comedy routine.



We headed out for some pizza that is made in a roaving truck however it wasn't there, so we headed to a place close to the Kingdom Hall for some empanadas!



After resting at home, we headed out for the meeting which starts at 7. Since Sign Language is a group here, they meet with Spanish. Sitting on the right side of the hall they have a TV on a mobile cart where they can play scriptures, songs and pictures. The Congregation Bible Study is done independent from Spanish so we studied the Family Happiness DVD just like all the other Sign congregations while Spanish was covering the Jeremiah book just like English.

The Theocratic Ministry School was also done all in Sign and then the Service meeting was interpreted. There was also an announcement for the Zone Meeting that will be on Sunday! Spanish is in the morning and English and Sign will be in the afternoon. All are invited so we're really looking forward to it!

That evening after the meeting I went with a group downtown to try getting pizza from the pizza truck again. It was only a couple bucks for a pizza and I shared one with Lauren. There was a park of sorts right by where the truck was parked where they had tables and chairs so we pulled them all together and ate under the stars.

It's really awesome that there are a lot of people from all over the world here. For example, Sweden, Africa and Canada (a lot from Canada). And there are American's from all over the States. So when we are all together there is such a mixture of races and cultures it's truly beautiful.

Sorry I don't have any pictures of the meeting but I'll get some next time!
