Harrisons in Panajachel: EPIC DAY!!!!!!

Back in Sept/Oct when we had our C.O. visit, our C.O. Bro. Garcia talked to our elders about the interest that we are finding across the lake in San Marcos and San Pedro. When he learned of the many R.V.'s and studies that we being conducted, he suggested having a public talk across the lake for those or any others that are interested. What did the brothers do? They said "That sounds great, we'll get that scheduled." So they got in touch with the brothers in the Spanish congregation in San Juan, a town situated between San Marcos and San Pedro, to see if we could use their Kingdom Hall for the public talk. They agreed, so began the work of getting invitations made up, figure out who would give the talk, who would be the chairman, deciding on what talk would be good and getting out there to invite return visits, Bible students and anyone else that spoke English and wanted to come. The brothers also decided that after the public talk that we would show the video "Why Study the Bible?", so there was also the work of getting the appropriate equipment to do that as well. The talk decided on was, "Bible Principles - Can They Help Us To Cope With Today's Problems?". Mike gave the talk, our secretary Mitchell Wright was chairman. Austin was put in charge of getting the video ready for viewing. All involved did a great job! The date Saturday, Dec. 20, 2014 at 1:30pm was another first for the Lago Atitlan Ingles Congregation, the first time a public talk in English was given across the lake. The RESULTS? We had an attendance of 35, 5 of those being interested ones! Jehovah blessed our efforts! We'll see what will become of the hard work that was put into this special day! Below is some pics from this epic day for us!!!!
