We have one visitor from the near neighbor who is Vanesa. The other brethren also joined us in the study. I invited brother Robert and Manny to help me in the work. I and Manny lead spiritual sings and brother Robert preached to them about “Blessings behind every conditions”. The tracts distribution is cancelled because of rainfall.
