Great experience

Quick story here ... We have found the best way not only to get to know our brothers but also remember their name is to work in the ministry with them .... that said we are trying to work with different ones each day, when we are in our ministry. The sister in the photo, Maggi .... Carol worked with in the ministry this morning. Her twins are both named Anna. (Cristina and Patricia) I told the sister that wasn't very nice to name them with the first same name, as it only adds to the confusion we already have. Maggi started learning the truth 17 years ago. She said for the first 9 years she was like a crab .... move forward, then sideways, then backwards, then forward some more, spiritually speaking. Finally she decided to dedicate her life to Jehovah. Of course her husband had other plans for her, and told her if she was to become a Witness, he was going to divorce her... she reasoned with him that she was not passing time with another man, but spending more of her time drawing close to her creator, so she would be a better wife. He told her to plan on being a single mom, non the less. Finally the day arrived when she was to be baptised at the assembly. The morning she went to leave for the assembly, her husband followed her to the assembly, when she was there for the baptism talk he was there with their daughters, in the audience. After she was baptised that day, he gave her a big hug and told her how proud he was that she didn't give into his wishes and decided to become one of Jehovah's Witnesses, that was 7 years ago..... Great story huh!

Then she told us that she too just moved into the congregation we are in and didn't know any brothers .... Carol asked why she moved to this congregation and she said because "I matured" (she lived in the territory already but attended a different congregation) when she first arrived she said she didn't really like the congregation, and felt it was a bit cold. Of course she then admitted, that the congregation she had been attending was much smaller and easier to get around to see friends. Well after missing several meetings, she said that one night she couldn't sleep, (conscience) and all she did was pray to Jehovah for help to get to the meetings, and make new friends....... Well she hasn't missed a meeting since, and of course, we are very happy that she hasn't, and that are having the opportunity to get to know her and her daughters. Now .... we work on her husband, to help him become a brother!
