English Cong in Playa del Carmen

Last night was our first meeting in English,  in Playa Del Carmen, a kinda party town about 18 miles away.  We started by taking a bus for 120 pesos to Playa then walked to the meeting about 4 blocks away...it is a 2 story building, spanish on ground floor and english upstairs.  They are building a khall in Puerto Morelos but it is a month away,  currently they have a Mayan cong and a Spanish cong here...they want to start an English group as soon as possible,  The bros/sis in Playa are VERY warm and welcoming,

 They are planning on splitting into 2 congs Feb 1, We will be in the North side,  they have public talk and Watchtower study Saturday evening at 6pm, then they have a standard congregation get together Sunday at 2pm on the beach, we are looking for a house to rent here in P Morelos.  Last night for the Childrens goals the last song the brother had all the children under 18 go to the front of the hall and sing the song (no adults) then we sang the corus.  It was so heartwarming that many were crying tears of joy!  It is something I will never forget.

 Now to continue our preaching activity, We talked about Marcos,  we have run into him (by choice and plan) several times and he wants to go with us to the next Sat meeting in Playa,  the Wt will be such a good one on knowing Jehovah. We told him to write down his questions and he said he would need a notebook!!

 We met Juan at the tourist tours who also has a spiritual need, he has been pushed as a child to go to church and is baffeled to see people like us who love the bible and wants to know why,  he said in church the preacher basicly beat the congregation and condemned them for being sinners,  so he hated going to church.  We are helping him understand that isn't the way God wanted his people to feel and see the truth about the creator of the universe and how loving and caring he really is.
