Bienvenido! My name is Aaron and I am currently serving in Dominican Republic. Whether this is in the United States or somewhere else in the world , Jehovah's work must be done! As we have been advised, "taste and see that Jehovah is good!" This blog is just about my little taste so far.

Branching out to our new family

The CO visit was so encouraging !!! I found out that it was brother Simon's first time ever serving with an English congregation , but his English was so good!! Each morning at the field service groups , he brought out something he wanted us to try. For example, one morning he stated that we were to use only our bibles at the door. Another day focused on starting studies right away and so on. All there methods proved very effective and many of us got results immediately. I was able to start a new study with a young man named Luis! He must be in his late teens. He was so great ! He came in from playing baseball to sit and talk. When we asked him questions, he didn't just recite an answer from the book. Instead, he thought about the information and have a heartfelt answer! I felt like this was different then any other study that I had conducted because of how much he wanted to learn. We went over the first few paragraphs of the first chapter in the Bible Teach book and I'm slated to return next Monday.

We've been having the friends over our new apartment lately. It's been nice because we can all relax and just get to know one another better. So one night we had some young ones over and we danced and sang. It was pretty loud once Adele was being sung. These girls LOVE Adele. Another night we had a large assortment of friends over. Two sisters from connecticut who are visiting for a little bit , two missionaries , and some other friends from our congregation and another Spanish hall. This night was SO enjoyable. Not only did we get to know these experienced publishers better , we sang kingdom songs like our life depended on it. We had 4 different languages present , so people were singing in French, Creole , Spanish and English. Regardless of the language, the praise to Jehovah was beautiful. The best part was the food tho! Shout out to my mom for rocking the barbecue chicken. I couldn't have enough of that stuff.

Below you'll see Graham, Mario, Herby and Adrean. After that is a noni tree!!! For all of you health freaks, this is what you're drinking!! Next is Teresa with Clara Luz. We were teaching her about god's kingdom and Jesus being king which is why she has a crown on. Lastly, you'll see that gangnam style has infected the farthest parts of the world!

Nos Vemos,
Aaron
