Midnight witnessing/Farewell to a friend

Wednesday nights have become the night when we join the English Hall for midnight witnessing. Brothers and sisters from different congregations (Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, sign language, English  Tagalog etc.) we all meet up at a local hall at 10 pm for the service meeting.Your probably wondering how midnight witnessing is done? or even where? if it's door to door? or in the bus stops? or even who is awake at 12 in the morning??  Well first of all in the service meeting the brother usually asks how many drive. Depending on how many we get divided into groups (never an exact amount in a group is just more like fill up the car) after that we go to the local coffee shops, 7-elevens, Gas stations, and any stores that are open at that time. You'll be amazed how many people are up and going at that time.I have gone for 3 Wednesday's continually and In all the 3 night's I have found very good calls. They listen Very well especially the employees at gas stations because there curios to know why we are all dressed up at the time of hour and with a bible. 2 weeks ago we where talking to an employee of a gas station and he said "you guys come very often here" I mentioned to him the purpose and why we come often he listened very well but he said he respects every religion but he doesn't believe in religion we spoke a bit more but then a couple of customers came in and well we left him a magazine and told him we will come visit him next week. But I haven't found him since then hopefully soon and Ill let you guys know how it goes with him.  In the other hand My sister Jocelyne found a great return visit that wants to study and the perfect thing is that she lives so close too us!
I've had to have my phone handy with me when I go to the gas stations and 7-elevens because the employees usually speak either Hindi or Punjabi and only a bit of English  I've used my phone to show them the website www.jw.org and how they can find the magazines in there native language and they usually are very amazed too know that the magazines are translated in so many different languages And if they don't read English or don't have Internet we offer bring them the magazine for another occasion. Usually they accept.
Some of the brother's and Sisters from Midnight Service. (look to your left if you see the sister doing the sign is because she is in the ASL congregation) Last week was the last night that one of our friends named James would join us for midnight Witnessing. He was leaving to New York to go serve in Bethel for a whole year. So after midnight witnessing we went to In-n-out as a surprise for him.
After midnight service we went to In-n-out to eat. DJ and I.

I have no idea what James and my sister Jocelyne where doing too me.

Outside 7-eleven this man started playing basketball. He spoke to us but we didn't understand a word he said poor man I think he was homeless.

The group service size was about 55-60 this Wednesday We have 7 territories and there was 11 car groups. Biggest group we have had so far.

That's It for this picture segment. I want to say thanks to All for the encouraging words and help you been giving me. Just reassures me of the huge privilege I have of being part of Jah's organization. Helps me see its not so bad what im going through Because Jah will always help.

Chou! For now.

Future blessings

So many times we want every thing right away. When we are hungry we Usually recure to the most fast way of getting food and we end up with JUNK FOOD. Our like here in the states life is so fast paced we are used to getting things fast. But Sometimes that's how we might start feeling when it comes to Jehovah blessing us. After a trial after hardships we might expect Jehovah to blesses right away and if he doesn't we might ask ourselves but why? What did I do wrong? But it's really all about patience. Jehovah knows when he will when we would need the blessing the most. I remember an experience from a close friend. He was going on his 5th year of being a ministerial servant and he started thinking Jehovah is going to bless me twice as more this year then he had already. But then his mom got an a near death accident he lost his Job he lost his opportunity of working again for the company. But he didn't lose his faith. He got discourage for a moment and I remember him sayi

Times of Need Will Come

A candle light, phone, paper & pen, and book that's all I have with me right now.This past weeks have been very tough for my family and I. I have a very big family and most of are living together in this house ( we are 15 member's wowzers i know) Everyone is trying to keep it together but by looking at everyone's faces you can tell their sad. I'm sure by now your wondering why or whats wrong? Well we haven't had light or water for 3 weeks already. i know its not as bad as what others go through and I know we aren't the first or the Last to have economic problems. But to be honest its been a daily challenge and struggle especially when its night it gets dark early (around 4-5pm) so to get ready for Friday night meetings we have start getting ready early to be able to see where we are going and where our stuff is at and YES flashlights have been a great help but those batteries die fast. To shower we have had to adapt to showering with water in buckets. Y

The word of the day..

Patience. You might ask yourself but why? Well lately I have seen I been needing this quality a lot! At home, in service, with little kids from the congregation, but especially in school. It sometimes seems that in my English class is a Bible teach class and history where they talk about the bible more then they actually teach us. It sounds pleasant but not when there teaching that God is not love and that he causes all the suffering . Today, for example. The teacher brought the subject about the Puritan Theology. (This theory was back in the day when people would be torture in-front of everyone if they where thought to have sin or to have been witches and the the towns government would be based all in religion) {theocracy}  The Teacher continued the lesson talking about Religion. He then asked the class what religion where they. I raised my hand. Thinking it would be a good opportunity to give testimony and defend the truth.  But as usual he didn't choose me he never really does
