Exciting Anouncments!

We now have two new pioneers in the Crawfordville Kingdom Hall. We were so happy to here that "Jim Honeycutt is now a regular pioneer" at the meeting this last Tuesday. YAY! We were so excited to know we would have a new pioneer with us in service. Another younger brother in our hall decided he would be able to start pioneering, with Jim, this coming September.

 Our service here is going very well. We usually start our service day on Tuesday and Saturday with early morning witnessing. We get a chance to stop at gas stations and we have been having lots of good experiences. One presentation we use in early morning witnessing is taking out a couple of magazines and asking the person: "Which one of these interests you?" In many cases people have taken all of them and said they would read them all! One time a boy in our hall went up with six magazines, trying this approach, and the man took all of them! Another time a man even gave us a donation for coming and leaving the magazines with him. Lots of people here are very receptive to the truth, and we have gotten to get more and more RV's throughout are ministry.  The same younger brother that placed the six magazines had an awesome call this week. He had a RV he wanted to make and Mom suggested that he offer a bible study with her since he had been calling on her for so long. He wasn't sure about how to offer the study so she told him a couple of things he could say. He went up to the door and caught the man home. He told him he had something he would like to share with his wife if she was home. She wasn't so he decided he would share the same news with the husband. He shared a couple of scriptures with him and then offered him a bible study. The man told him what time he would be home. Then he asked for a bible. He said that his was so hard to understand and when Adrian shared scriptures from his bible, they were easier to understand. So sometime next week, Adrian said he would come and drop the bible off and show him more about the book "What Does The Bible Really Teach?" It was such a exciting call to end the day on.
Here is a picture of Adrian and Mom at the door talking to the man out in service



 I hope to let you know how the rest of the call turns out to be. It is such a blessing to work out in service with our friends!

Exploring the Springs


 This weekend we had tons of fun! We had some guests come down and visit us from Kentucky & we got to take them to the Spring in our county. We had a blast. First we started our journey with a boat ride, where we spotted lots of wild birds, alligators, turtles, and even manatees!

Manatees are most closely related to a elephant. They are such an interesting animal. Can you spot the manatee? :-)




This was such a cute little family of turtles. Your going to have to look really close at all these pictures!
Don't forget the 'gators! See him in the picture above?


After having a fun experience on the boat ride. We hit the water. It is super cold. It average around 66-71 degrees year round.. Brrrrr. Right? Didn't scare us off!

We had such a blast with our company. We can't wait to do it again!

It is pretty interesting right? I was surprised when I saw it! My call wasn't home & I sadly can't give you any updates, but I thought you would like to see what I found!

What a Blessing!

Our convention was this weekend. We enjoyed it so much! It was such an encouragement to all & can't wait for everyone to hear the convention talks. We took a couple of pictures, so you could see a peek at what went on:-)
Riley read her talk to us at the hotel room! We enjoyed some pizza while listening to it:-)

This is interesting.. We were surprised Friday, while heading to the convention to see this banner. The city of  Gainesville hung this right before you turned into the convention center parking lot. Pretty cool..


Friday.. The first day of the "Safegaurd Your Heart Convention!" Yay!

We got the priviledge to help one of the congregations help with there cleaning assignment & we got to meet lots of new faces. The convention was such a gift from Jehovah. We enjoyed every single part of it and look forward to our next convention.
