Mind. Blown.

Eric has been doing so well on his studies! He really gets the sense of what we are talking about and we've been using part of our study time to go over the watchtower so that he can have a comment prepared. This past Sunday, I invited Eric and a few others from the congregation over for lunch and a nice chance for Eric to get to know the congregation better. As we sat down Eric announced "I want to be a publisher!" My mind was blown! He told us all after that he wants to study the bible in English only and that he has begun preaching to his friends. I was in shock because I had no warning that any of this was gonna happen anytime soon! So we spent the rest of the lunch encouraging him to keep up his progress. Yesterday I had my mom accompany me on the study and we went over information about proper dress for the meetings and goals to set , such as joining the Theocratic Ministry School. We found out that Eric doesn't own any slacks or a suit, so we're working out a way to get a suit for him. I'm so excited for Eric because this is such an exciting time for him. Hopefully soon, he'll be able to identify himself with Jehovah's people and preach with us. I'm so grateful to Jehovah for letting me help Eric out and aid him in his progress.

On a sad note , many of the needgreaters who were visiting have left to go back home. This is my first time seeing a full "wave" of them come through. We got to know so many well and it hurt to see them go. But with Jehovah's help, they'll be back soon. On a happy note, our next wave of needgreaters are coming soon! And I'm ecstatic to be able to tell you that Graham is returning for a month and a half!!!! I'm so excited to have him back down here!

Below are some pictures of our friends who became more like family for us.

We hope you friends are doing well and think about you often. May is fast approaching so we'll be stateside in just a couple months. Can't wait to be able to talk with you in person!

Nos Vemos,
Aaron
