Mark's first PT



Just a quick snippet from Mark's first public talk here - in front of a large crowd of 199.

He did very well (of course I am no judge of good spanish) and I was told by many people afterwards that they could understand most of the talk. I'm so proud!!!
This photo cracks me up - I know I have said it before how much we feel like giants but it's still funny all the same! Especially Hermano Jacinto tucked under Mark's armpit - it's hilarious. This family has only recently moved into our congregation (even though they have been in our territory for ages). They are really cute and so zealous. The boys are both baptized and although very quiet lads, they are slowly coming out of their shells.

Amanda - not sure the folks here would understand the concept of woterproofing - they live in very different houses to us in NZ. It was a rusty nut and bolt he was using.

Deb - thanks so much for watching, I am glad you have enjoyed the blog. And of course it is a good way to keep tabs on C & M right?
