You've never been in service until you've crammed the entire service group into the back of a pick up truck for lack of automobiles. Wednesday is our long day for service, and normally we get a nice big group who goes out together. We bring our lunches, umbrellas, water bottles, walking shoes, sunblock, lots of literature, and I usually bring my camera. Boy, am I glad I brought it today! We worked a territory called Las Nubes, it's actually not too far from the kingdom hall, but it is rather large. It's just one road through the mountians and it seems to just keep going and going and going. Eventually, I've heard, that it empties out somewhere near Ticuantepe which is near the Bethel. It's a small dirt road, with almost no traffic, definately no buses, and an incredible view. My camera can NOT do it justice, but here's a picture anyhow....

Anyway, after our service group finished, we exited the kingdom hall and I thought to myself.... "Self, how in the world are we going to get some 30 people to this territory without a bus and with only one truck?" After a few minutes of deliberation, I decided it would be a day of a lot of walking.... I just didnt see how it would be physically possible to carry that many people in a little pickup truck... But, as always, I was mistaken. Not knowing the language often has me feeling disconnected. People are talking all around me, right next to me, or at me.... I see your lips moving, but I don't know what you're saying. Most of the time, even though they might answer my question, the answer seems so absurd that I think I must have misunderstood them. This was the case this morning, I must've asked 3 different people how we were going to get to the territory, completely disbelieving the fact that they actually thought it was possible to fit 28 people into a pickup truck. I definately got a new sense of Matthew 19:26 "With God all things are possible.".

We piled in, drove in to the farthest point of the territory, and walked back out. There were people sitting on other people, there were people hanging onto the roll bar, there were people standing on the side step outside of the truck and just holding on... I was seriously impressed. It's funny how you're so used to doing something a certian way... like I have been living in the States my whole life. And then you step outside your territory and you see what "normal" life is like for all these other people. I mean, seriously, if 30 people showed up at a service group in the states, and there was only one car.... would anyone even DREAM of continuing out? Of course, not that you could, or should, even if you wanted to.... you'd be arrested and thrown in jail faster than you can say "mexicans".

Don't try this at home.....
