It ...I enjoyed your comments on the Sunday program. It brought back memories of a couple of times that we visited the only publisher (at that time) on the 5 square mile Caribbean island of Saba. Br Haskins was there by himself for about 13 years and from time to time others would come for a few months--but basically he was the only one for all those years. Every Sunday he gave the talk in both English and Spanish (even though Saba is under Dutch control, many there speak Spanish)--so he would say a couple of sentences in English and then translate what he said into Spanish and do that for the entire talk--then he would conduct the WT study and do the same thing--ask questions in both languages, although I don't remember if he also read the paragraphs in both. For many years the "Kingdom Hall" was his house. Now there are several publishers, a few have been baptized, and they have a small KH that used to be a mechanic's garage.dschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011566341790347223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804978462325087830.post-60033481280569025842010-12-08T06:39:46.000-08:002010-12-08T06:39:46.000-08:00'Yes' to everything?...they don't do t...'Yes' to everything?...they don't do that here.

(Maybe two)<br />It is sort of a bummer to not be able to use the wonderful training you gave me. Wow...that brings back memories, doesn't it? Lets relive those days.

In fact i think you should learn some of the local dances and post you doing them. Really that would be something to see.Blainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832695826357359404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804978462325087830.post-57543694498634109502010-12-07T12:02:10.969-08:002010-12-07T12:02:10.969-08:00Fullah, Great comment, dude, but I seriously doubt...Fullah, Great comment, dude, but I seriously doubt you suddenly speak/write Japanese! Let me guess, googletranslator? You're right, though, our adventures are going to rock this world hard!<br /><br />Helen, Mondays are SO tough here, I dread everyone of them. *wink* <br />So I finally have a name to the broom things! Here is a question, do they always say 'yes' even when they have no idea what you said? <br />For instance:<br />"How are you?"<br />"Yes."<br />"Wait...you don't speak English do you?"<br />"Yes."<br />"...Have you ever seen spacemonkies with lasersnot?"<br />"Yes."<br />"Yeah, you have no idea what I'm saying, do you?"<br />"Yes."<br />"I'm leaving now".<br />"Yes."<br />*sigh*Anikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062746761831185425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804978462325087830.post-77129395674994785532010-12-07T11:23:24.240-08:002010-12-07T11:23:24.240-08:00The "dreaded Monday" pic really does cap...The "dreaded Monday" pic really does capture the very essence of "dread"!! :-) That's a "cocoyea broom" that the sisters use to sweep the floor with (and apparently the grass too). (Pronounced Koe-Kee-Yeah). I can't believe how similar some of the things are between Uganda and here! (So far, they point with their mouths and use cocoyea brooms to sweep.) Well, the broom thing has more or less gone out of style now, what with Hoover and what-not. :-)Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09126554560193911641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804978462325087830.post-80385561282579904892010-12-07T11:10:16.949-08:002010-12-07T11:10:16.949-08:00人のクールなグループのように見えます。私はあなたが白い人です気づいた。体験をお寄せいただきありがとう...人のクールなグループのように見えます。私はあなたが白い人です気づいた。体験をお寄せいただきありがとうございます。私はカントは我々の冒険を待ちます。zech96https://www.blogger.com/profile/06932545018263132004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804978462325087830.post-48319820985600727862010-12-07T04:03:58.949-08:002010-12-07T04:03:58.949-08:00Nautica- We has the blingz!

It's great hearing about these differences of cultures and such. Regarding your time in prison, I have a complaint about my lisence plate! (♯`∧´)/ don't try to deny your work! <br />Did you have to ask someone how to spell Wednesday? Mmhm...<br />it's great hearing about the experiences too! They're so exciting and encouraging ( primarily comforting to think you have to suffer the discomfort! Not seriously!) it's great to hear how they make do with what they've got. We have so many luxuries ( conveniences) that they don't, it can be so easy to take them for granted and allow our sight to become fuzzy when it comes to what's really important in life. It must be so nice in way to see how though they have less, many of them (brothers and sisters) surely have more in a way. I hope that makes sense.Nauticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861936941640834473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804978462325087830.post-11713125726746366232010-12-05T15:37:31.231-08:002010-12-05T15:37:31.231-08:00my buddy trev.... what do you want me to make you....my buddy trev.... what do you want me to make you... ima pretty good cook.. haha ~CarissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
