TERRITORY SHOTS

I've gotten some recent requests for territory pictures, so here you go.  My new territory is a lot more rural which I love (my feet do NOT love) because it's shadier and full of farm animals.  Yeah!  You guys have asked how we did last month on our campaign for tract #38?  Really good!  We covered our territory, and most people were very receptive to the tract.  We have a mainly Evangelical territory (similar to Southern Baptist or Pentecostal) so when we asked if the dead will live again, they said, "Yes! To be judged!"  It made for a great opportunity to teach what the Bible means when it says the "unrighteous" will be resurrected and why.
I love this shot!

Me in front of my study Yahaira's house

Clara studying with Miss Heyling.  The next study, she had 3 other relatives join in!  This girl is like 10, 11 years old and every time we come, she's sweeping the yard, burning trash, cleaning up her brother, etc.  She's such a responsible worker already and just LOVES her study.

This is often how my feet look at the end of the morning preaching.  Unfortunately, even after a good wash, they still have permanent sandal lines.  Now you understand why we often use socks in service!

Here's our "large army" out one day in full Nicaraguan service uniform.  Socks with sandals? Check!  Umbrella?  Check!  Winning smiles?  Check!

    1. Why, thank you. I haven't made my mind up yet about the Crocs. I'd like something close-toed but I'm a half size and they don't do that yet so the close-toed are either too big or too little for me. Still on a search for a good service shoe.

  2. The best pair of shoes I found for service here is Sketchers with memory foam. Hardly even notice the bumpy, rocky roads. That said, shoe tan is something we all have to deal with. I find it makes an interesting conversation piece.

    1. Doesn't it?! I have a pair of close-toed Sketchers too. Unfortunately, their cross straps go right over my right foot's bunion and they KILL me. I wear them but I don't love them. I know a lot of need greaters use them though. Any other suggestions?

  3. I would love to know (and maybe see?) what shoes the sisters wear in the ministry in places like Central America! I want to find something comfortable that also looks appropriate!

    I LOVE the pictures! My trip can't come soon enough :)
