Monitor Dinner

This week we were pleased to be able to host a dinner at our house for the TEE monitors and their wives.  We got fewer than we’d hoped for, due to one thing and another but we had a nice time.  We are thankful for the neighbor’s generator, which allowed us to keep our small fridge/freezer cool so that we could store some food for the meal, though the cokes weren’t as cold as we’d like.

A major topic of discussion at the dinner was the current situation and especially the danger in the slum areas (where 90% of people live) at night.  Robbers are taking advantage of the complete darkness.  Kevin drove everyone home afterwards (they were eager to leave early, due to the situation) and said that it was positively creepy to drive around such a dark city.  We try not to go out at night these days.

We are so thankful for these faithful men, who lead classes week after week without any payment whatsoever.  They are committed to the interdenominational character of these classes, which is very unusual here,where denominationalism is very strong.  – C
