Rural days

On Friday Bridget Tiffany and local brother names Eliezar and I went to help a group in a rural territory that was getting served by the CO. We drove about an hour to get to a small town called Pueblo Nuevo and picked up the CO and his wife and a few others and then drove onward to Palagua where the group of 10 are at.
Sisters from Pueblo Nuevo.....I love them.
We went preaching first with the group, the territory is very fruitful! Pueblo Nuevo, the hall that takes care of the group has a massive territory. 80 communities, some have not been preached to in 20 years!
Coffee beans!
After preaching a local family had us for dinner....the area is extremely poor so it was such an amazing thing for them to do. It was a yummy chicken soup with tortilla.

Another local family hosted the meeting at there house. We did the cong book study and the CO gave a nice talk.
 

This is the brothers whose house we were at....Such an amazing story. Most of the 10 people in the isolated group in Palagua are his family. Him and his wife learned the truth 27 years ago by special pioneers. In order to receive his bible study from the special pioneers him and his wife along with there 11 children walked 7 hours one way to the town of Somoto where the special pioneers lived. All this was during a very bloody and dangerous war. At the time Jehovah's Witnesses were under ban. Amazing. To see this humble brother in a homemade wheelchair in his dirt floor house just smile and smile as the meeting was going on was just too much. I felt like crying the whole time! It was like being in a yearbook experience for sure!
