As we only had Joni & Judah available to teach we decided to only do a small, one-day event for our closer contacts (ones who always come to seminars or have been coming to lessons recently).

When we got back home we found out that everyone had gone to their provinces on holidays (national public holidays) so things were pretty quiet… but today, Tuesday, we’re getting back into things – 5 lessons so far today! Do you know how energizing it is to teach someone about the Bible? Someone who really wants to know? I have a 34 year old guy who comes for lessons 1-2 times pe...
