FIRST MEETING

We attended our first meeting as part of the Tecoman congregation today.

The congo is very very welcoming and straight away we felt quite comfortable.

I had a part on the meeting which was pretty funny since we have only been here for 3 days, he he.

After the meeting we practiced the songs for the Memorial which we thought was a wonderful idea. That way the public wont think we are a bunch of freaks that cant sing our own songs.

Here is Mexico and also down in Belize they have not started using the new song book so we had to hunt down an old one for us to use today, that was like a blast from the past! The Memorial is the first time they will be using the new book making the practice sessions even more valuable.

The congo obviously loves to sing and they do so with great gusto. Its wonderful to hear. Oh and the music is awesome loud so it drowns out the bad singing quite well, but we were all pretty good, if I do say so myself!

After the meeting Jasa and I jumped on the "moto" this is what they call a four wheeler motorbike and wizzed off to do some calls. We had a great 3 hours or so inviting people to the memorial. Dave and Dustin went on the bikes so all round I think the girls had the better deal!

There are some parts of the town where you have to go super fast as you are travelling under a bunch of trees that have hundreds if not thousands of big black birds roosting in them. Now try hard to imagine this: thousands of bird all lined up with their butts aimed at any unknowing passerbyer (just made that word up), you approach at speed and they all start to shoot you with poo. This is where the speed comes into it. Hopefully you are going so fast that the birds a) dont get time to aim and b) cant hit you cos you are a blur. We of course are in the open air on either a pushbike or a moto so its even funnier, well for the birds that is! he he

Hmmm not much else happened today we were out till late and we have an early morning as there is a deep clean on the hall to get it all spick and span for the Memorial. So I must away and get some beauty sleep!
