Sept and October

Well, the convention post turned out to be longer than I thought so let me continue with our doings in this new post.  So, of course, we are very busy in the ministry and feel very happy to see several Bible students progress.  Both Alma and I have new students on the school and in the ministry.  In September we had our Spanish Convention.  The following photos are noteworthy because they were taken when the program had ended and everyone stayed where they were because of the unexpected rainstorm.  Normally, everyone leaves right way, so this was really cool

It looks sunny but really it was raining hard.  You can see why we enjoyed the Eng Convention so much with A/C, comfy seat and a roof!

However on Sunday there was almost 7,000 in attendance and there were 96 baptized. 

A week after the convention, Alma and I were invited to go camping with some friends from another congregation.  Alma couldn't go, but I wasn't going to let that stop me :) 

We loaded up Saturday night, got there late. We stayed overnight at a balneario (public swimming pool) which are very popular over here. We were not going to let nighttime darkness or cold water stop us from having fun in the pool. I did almost die of hypothermia...haha just kidding. NOT

 Food table

 Card Shark table.   Most everyone stayed up until 3am.  I have a picture of me the morning after...but it is kept in my secret files.....here is one of me and friends just before we left to go home.

Thanks for stopping by my blog...see you next time!!
