I rode the bus by myself today

I went to the Theocratic Ministry School today at the Kingdom Hall. I was interesting because when the entire congregation (about 80 people) sang, it sounded like 150. The friends there were so nice to me. They go around and greet every single person in the congregation with Buenos tardes, a handshake and or hug. I wish we did more of that in the US. Of course everyone is 20-30 minutes for the meeting, so they have time to greet everyone.

The kingdom hall is about the size of the hall in Clarksville except there isn’t a separate part of the literature counter. The literature counter is a 5’ X 3’ table with, I think, one literature servant. Now here’s an interesting thing to note. The campaign we had with the “Keep on the Watch” Brochure starts for them on January 17 until February 13. So the Kingdom Ministry for Mexico is slightly different than the one for the US.

This hall is really far away from our house and so I’m only going to go on Sunday and next Tuesday. Then I’m going to go to the hall near the school.

As for school, everything was cool today. I learned a few more idiomatic expressions, but am too tired to tell you about them. I’ll do it tomorrow.

Wanna see some pictures? The first few are at our house and the rest are of the Bascilica in Mexico City and the pyramids at Teotihucan. Enjoy!
