New Puerto Morelos English Congregation!!

Puerto Morelos English congregation is official as of May 1, 2012.
There are now 3 congregations meeting in the hall: Mayan, Spanish and now ENGLISH!!

Our first Official meeting is to be on Saturday, the 19th at 4:30 pm.  We have been having the Watchtower in Simplified English since January but now we will have the full 2 hour meeting with public talks and our official night for the Theocratic Ministry School will be Tuesdays at 6:30.

We did not have a meeting here this week because we all were at the Special Zone Meeting in Cozumel!

We got the Watchtower at the Zone Meeting.



We are waiting in Line to get on the Ferry to take us to Cozumel for the Zone Visit...

I know I haven't written for awhile but service here has been awesome!

We have several studies that are thrilled to know what the bible really teaches and are progressing nicely.

Last year we hardly did any sight seeing,  this year we have done a few sight seeing things...here are some pictures of what we did locally.

Here is an abandoned resort...
it is huge and beautiful!

Someone said it is a hurricane disaster and due to red tape has not been able to rebuild or fix back up...it is beautiful, even empty.







Here was the theature.





 Girls and ....







                                                                                   Guys! 


Dinner in Playa Del Carmen at Oasis with
Larry and Lynn,
Micah and Barry, and
Lexi

We had shrimp, calamari and fish taco's...yum!
 Here we went to Akumal to see the turtles,  got off tract and did not see any turtles, but we had fun with the fish!










Here is Lynn on a study... Claudia is looking forward to the new world when she will get her lost leg back...


She plans on dancing when the music is played from the picture in the "Bible Teach" book showing paradise.

Her dream is to swim with sharks...she will in the new world!



We took a friend to the airport in Cancun...shut off the truck and it would not start again...the starter went out right then...oops...  Larry is under the truck replacing the starter...fortunately...Ron and Sasha were there to pick up Jonah and able to take the guys to a mechanic...us girls took the ADO home. The guys  ran across a man, a mechanic that they asked for directions from...he said he could fix our starter...we find out later (mags in his car) that he is a brother...he had just prayed to Jehovah for money that he needed for food and there we are...his brothers!!

We put on the fixed starter that got us by...and then bought a new one at Auto Zone the next day!! (as a spare)


While we were waiting us girls took pictures!!

They are looking through the songs.



 The kids were outside with what started as
waterbaloons that escalated to water buckets and then the water hose...they were soaked!!





 Its Larry's time to sing!!


Micah Neher and Taylor Trone are singing the mens part and Marisol is singing the ladies part on Phantom of the Opera.
We are on the Ferry waiting to get going to Cozumel for the Zone Visit!!

Such a beautiful smile Lexi!!

Not all but most you can see are our brothers!!

 We are ordering breakfast in Cozumel...
There was something going on politically...we had
red shirts, pink shirts and green shirts running all around...we got out of there just as the big band was starting out...yes!!


This is the first seat we tried out...we move several times before we were set finally...we actually all sat somewhere far apart....interesting!!




I am here holding the program...we are soooo thankful we were one of the 8 congregations invited to go!! Can you see it on my face?


This is where Larry and I landed finally...see the big fan...do you see why?

There was an open side and fans ... no a/c.

It was all in Spanish...except Anthony Morris talk...
Fortunately we sat next to Marisol and she translated for us!!! Yay..

Thank you Marisol!!
