It's Finally Official
Well after four years of hard work developing the English group here in Bocas we have finally reached our goal. Tuesday night it was announced that we have officially become one of the over 100,000 Christian Congregations worldwide. It feels so good to have finally accomplished it to this point. When we started the group we only had the book study. For many of the first months there were 5 people in attendance at that meeting. Then we started having Public Talk's and Watchtower Studies every week. And now just over a year ago with the change in the meeting schedule we were able to have all of our meetings in English. But to be able to watch a group grow to the point of becoming a congregation is an amazing feeling that cannot be expressed in words. To know that you were apart of building the first foundation and know what you did to help it grow made a difference is something I hope everyone gets a chance to experience. We only have 9 publishers in the congregation along with whoever is visiting. So our work is far from over. In fact the way I see it, the work has just begun.

Bocas Territory
Anyone who has ever visited Bocas and gone out in service here has seen that our territory isn't or I should say wasn't very organized. Yes until just about a month ago we didn't even have the island's territory completely mapped. When brother Troy Murray from Michigan visited he helped us complete the mapping of the island. Now we have maps of all of Isla Colon and we are starting to work on the other islands. I just thought I would show you how the maps look here.

Bon Bon
Well it's been awhile (a long while) since I've posted anything to the blog. I've been kind of busy learning Web Development, which will eventually become my career. But if any of you know Amber Woodall who lives on the Island, you will know that she has several cats. She moved to the island with two from the States. Then she adopted two more, Tuki and Monte, who after being being at Scott and Amber's for a few months had two kittens. Riese got attached to the small girl who he named Bon Bon which means "Sweet Sweet" in French. Now that she is over two months old we have decided to adopt her and make her a part of our family. She is a great addition and as you will see in the pictures has made us all very happy.
Bon Bon Coming Home
Bon Bon now is coming home in the car. But when the box she is supposed to be in is given to Riese he discovers nothing. Seems that the little kitten had escaped from the box and was exploring around the car. We were all very surprised to see what was supposed to surprise us when Riese opened the box.

Happy Riese
Riese is VERY happy to have Bon Bon. The expression on my face conveys more of a surprised, not sure how to react look. I was extremely stunned.
Buckets of Water
We literally had buckets of water fall from the sky almost over night. Our guests that were staying in the room downstairs at the time put this water pitcher outside. If you enlarge the picture you can see that there are over 6 1/2 inches of water that fell. Imagine if it snowed in Panama?
Pioneer Meeting
Here is the picture of everyone that attended our recent pioneer meeting. Brothers and Sisters trough-out the province came for it.
