Jordi's Congregtion

Wednesday we visited Jordi's congregation. Jordi is the brother who we live with, we live in the apartment above him. Well he had invited us to his meeting and we were finally able to plan it and attend! By this point though we met most of the congregation. Jordi had informed them of us staying here and so many of the members of the congregation have come by to visit us and of course the Llano family who host parties for us go to the same congregation so we knew most of the members there.
Most of our friends had parts tonight. Eduardo did the school, Roberto had the reading during book study, Eliu did part of the service meeting, Niurca and Danaris did the num 2, Jordi and Jay were helping with the microphones, and Lee was in charge of the sound system.
A lot of potential in that hall. Most of the young brothers are so mature and participate so much! Commenting, microphones, helping the elders we were very much impressed. After the meeting one of our friends, Jean Carlos, came up to Karen and I and said "y'all aren't cleaning!" And I said "we don't have an assignment" Jean Carlos then said "well you can mop now"....it was too cute. Jean Carlos is a young 18 year old brother who is very active in the congregation. Him and his friend Lee are always out in service in the evening. It was cute to see him approach us and give us a task. We enjoyed the meeting and of course being with our brothers and sisters. It was interesting because at our hall in Texas we have 2 microphones, so the brother doing the book study has his own and the brother doing the reading has his own as well. But here it is not like that, both brothers share the microphone therefore they switch during the study. Wow! And the microphones that are available for the brothers and sisters to comment weren't working at the beginning so they had to say their comment from their seats. WOW!!!! So different. The microphones started working and we were able to use them, but attending this meeting did prove to us once again how in the states our circumstances are a lot different and that the brothers here do what they can with the little they have. Definitely shows me to be more appreciative of what we have access to and what we have available to us at all times.
