Playing with puppies out in service

One of our Bible student's goats 

We had Ethan and Calvin over recently for dinner and Telestrations.

This is supposed to be ... a platypus! 

Michaell and Carly came to visit for April's Spanish meeting 

Michaell gave the talk, "Why Would a God of Love Allow Wickedness?"

A really sweet family from Tennessee also came to support the meeting.

Their two children, Johanna and Caleb, were adorable!

Tara and Roberto were able to visit that weekend, too, along with Tara's family 

Michaell and Carly really enjoyed getting to know Marcos and Daimery, 

as well as Marcos' younger brother Jordan. Jordan moved to Jenkins a couple of weeks ago.

After the meeting, the Bernards hosted a meal at their home.

They made some yummy dishes inspired by their recent trip to Nicaragua. 

 It was a really relaxed, fun afternoon

"Imitate Their Faith" Circuit Assembly

Cathy was baptized!

Here she is with a couple of family members and Teri, who conducts her Bible study.

Willie, Addison, Dylan and Atticus

Little Julian is cute as a doll!

 Leila and Dustyn were interviewed on the program.

Leila was first witnessed to by a classmate.
Her study of the Bible helped her Mom,
who had been inactive for decades, come back to Jehovah.

Dustyn spoke about the situations he faced after leaving Jehovah
(even having his life threatened by a "friend")
and the blessings he's enjoyed since becoming part of the congregation again.

Tamara was also interviewed.

She discussed what helps her to maintain strong faith despite the challenges
of being a care giver to first her father, then Elisa, and now her mom.

Circuit Pioneer Meeting 

Afterward, us girls enjoyed Starbucks and a trip to Target
