So we arrived in Porto Novo on Wednesday afternoon. Our first meeting was that evening. . . We were a little tired from all of our traveling but were really glad we made it! The brothers and sisters in our congregation are very kind and warm. They had been expecting us and some of them already knew our names. :) Their singing was beautiful, it brought me to tears(of course it was the song about Jehovah remembering those who we've lost in death, but still ;). I'll try to do a little video sometime.
We were able to go out in service today and yesterday. It's been really fun and interesting so far...(and hot;)! Thursday we shared in the invitation work for their district convention starting on Dec. 23rd. It was a nice simple way to start off preaching! :)
Today Katie and I accompanied a french sister that we're living with to another territory and went door to door for the whole morning. Everyone is so kind and warm here, they always invite us in and offer us a chair. Most already have a real appreciation and knowledge of the Bible so it's easy to have a nice bible based conversation. It's great! We'll go back next Friday!
Here's a few pictures from the territory. Notice our transportation. They call them 'Zims' here. :) It's kind of fun. ;) Also deepens one's faith in the resurrection! ; p
