You Can Do This # 2

This past Monday, we had an opportunity to go to another tourist spot on our island and help a co-worker distribute BOOKS. We had a great time and were able to distribute about 800 copies of HIStory in a few short hours. It's pretty simple. YOU CAN DO THIS!
First, the buses arrive, filled with tourists. They unload at a pier on this famous lake.

Then, the tourists go out on the lake for about a one hour cruise, enjoying the beauty of HIS creation.

As they leave the boat and head back to the bus, we greet them with a free copy of HIStory.

They always immediately open the gift bags. It's very exciting to see how eager they are to read the BOOK.

Some of us get the materials ready to be distributed. Some of us hand out the materials. And, some of us talk to HIM about them. Please remember these distributions. Remember the tour bus drivers, the tour companies, the tour guides, and the tourists. May all be changed by this encounter with HIM. The tourists are here, every day, all year long. Think about coming over to help us get the WORD out. YOU CAN DO THIS!

You Can Do This!

About 3000 tourists from the BIG country visit our island every day throughout the year. While they are here, we want to give them a gift, a copy of HIStory. We have the BOOKS, we have the place, we have the people....now we just need the volunteers to distribute the books. YOU CAN DO THIS!
First, find the places where the tourists shop, eat, sleep, or explore. Wait for a tour bus with about 40 folks per bus.

Set up a sign stating: FREE BOOKS. Hand out the books and bags with dvds and booklets.

Hand out the materials as quickly as possible. While they wait for their tour buses, chat with them. Ask if they have any requests for HIM. Talk to HIM with them. Talk to them about HIM.

Watch them immediately begin to read HIStory. The tour buses come to this spot every afternoon, every day of the year. In about three hours, you can easily see hundreds of tourists. Yesterday was Day # 1 for this outreach event in our city. Yesterday, we used national siblings to distribute. Yesterday, someone's life was changed for eternity. We'd love to have someone distributing in this spot every day of the year. YOU CAN DO THIS!

Happy Mother's Day

Celebrating Mother's Day is a relatively new concept in our part of the world. But, it has DEFINITELY caught on and the flower shops and bakeries stay very busy. Carrying all of the goodies I received as gifts back home was a bit much. I got flowers from our little national clubhouse, from my daughter, from our big clubhouse, from the orphanage, and from some adopted daughters.
One highlight of Mother's Day in the USA each year to me is Baby Dedication. So, I was pleased to see our big clubhouse carrying on this tradition.

After morning services and SS, we headed off to Harmony Home to love on babies. When we first arrived, most of the younger kids were still sleeping....how precious.

But, when they woke up, they were full of energy. They love it when Jack gets down on the floor with them. They think he is a big mountain, and they crawl all over him.

We are so happy to spend quality time with the older kids each week, telling them HIStory, playing games, making crafts, singing, etc. Ten of the older kids have registered to attend VBS at our big clubhouse in July. What a great opportunity for them to learn HIS truth.

Notice any differences in our version of Monopoly over here? Bubble tea, beef noodles, dumplings, shaved ice treats....yummy.

Keep remembering us on a daily basis. Next week, we'll be doing Mother's Day Holiday Presentations in the public school classrooms using the story of Hannah and Samuel. Happy Mother's Day!
