Latino Jazz Grooves

Well its been awhile since I last posted… what can I say? I guess we’ve just been having to much fun. To tell you the full story we had some smashing times with the Brothers and Sisters in Acapulco congregation. Both out in the service and also the association at other times. On our last saturday night there they organised a Latino dance party for us… to try and teach us some dance steps. It was so much fun and we all had a blast.

Unearthing Monte Alban

Monte Alban means White Mountain, Why? because the mountain is covered with a small tree (shrub?) that when in bloom with it’s white flower turns the entire mountain side white in its glory. Continue reading ‘Unearthing Monte Alban’

Touring Oaxaca City

This morning I had previously arranged to work Brother Emmanual in the english Oaxaca congregation. The territory is quite large and especially for the english speaking congregation, so that often means alot of traveling time is involved to get from one end of the territory to the other. We had fun witnessing in a nice part of Oaxaca with clean cemento roads and tidier looking homes. We were covering the territory looking for people who were not previously at home and who spoke english. We didn’t find anyone except a man who’s girl friend spoke english (she wasn’t at home), so we left the latest Awake & Watchtower magazines. Continue reading ‘Touring Oaxaca City’

Happy Hospitality

Informal witnessing was the objective and goal of our ministry this morning. Simply to approach people in the market places and speak to them. Initially we were to speak to them about general things like “where are you from” and so on… trying to also briefly tell them about the Good News of Gods Kingdom. And also invite them to attend the meeting this coming sunday. Continue reading ‘Happy Hospitality’

Day of Good News

We meet for field service this morning at 9am. The circuit overseer took the group with 33 in attendance. Today the focus was on the business territory around the Oaxaca City Zocalo (City Centre). I had the privilege of working along with the CO working business to business. The main focus is to find english speaking people, we came across a Mexican man about 20 years of age working in a Cantina, a bar that just sells spirits eg.. taquila, mezcal and more. He accepted two brochures and we left it at that but made sure we got his name and work address so he could be called on again. Continue reading ‘Day of Good News’
