I apologize to all our readers, we have been severely lacking in the writing department! We have been really busy in the ministry lately - out every day but Monday. I guess we've been suffering from some writer's block because even though we've been doing some amazing things I can't seem to make myself sit down to write about it. BUT I promise to do better, ok?
A few weeks ago a brother from Placencia Congregation come over with his big 4x4 truck, a bunch of us piled in and we headed to a remote village, San Pablo. We drove for almost an hour on rough dirt roads through a banana plantation to get to this village that nobody has been to in a couple of years. However, the moment we pull into the village, park, and start to get out a couple of little girls run up asking if we have any My Book of Bible Stories books! They know exactly who we are and want their books! Another man that Dana met had a Greatest Man book, underlined and had questions. Dana asked where he got the book - he had picked it up the week before at our public witnessing table at the bus terminal in Independence. It was really encouraging to see evidence that the public witnessing table is bearing fruit! It was a very successful trip, we placed all our literature and hope to get back again soon. At lunch time we went down to the river to cool our feet and there were these little minnow fish that like to nibble on your toes! It was the weirdest sensation EVER!
The success in the ministry is unreal! I have about 10 bible studies and Dana has almost that many, it's almost a struggle to find the time to do door-to-door preaching. People here are so receptive, have a respect for the Bible, and want answers to their questions! Soon we will be ramping up for the Memorial campaign - we are expecting a full Hall with overflow seating filling our entire parking area. Can't wait!
Ok, so I promise to write more often. For those of you with a smart phone or tablet, we keep in touch and share a lot of pictures on Instagram (a free app - just ask a teenager). Our Instagram name is: dana_carlee_brydon76 Please follow us there for pictures! Thanks so much for all your support and love!

Hi Carlee,
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy to hear that things are going so good for you guys!!! :) Can't wait to hear more about Belize!!
You sound like all the Watchtower articles we have ever been given: "we have so many studies it's hard to find time to preach"! It's a wonderful gift you are giving to many back in Nova Scotia, to see a family we know make the sacrifice and to see how things turn out! Someday, maybe we will also be able to enjoy the same blessings. We know Jehovah is with you!
