Aux Pioneering again
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Thursday, April 7, 2011
Jehovah has given us a wonderful opportunity, by letting reducing the auxiliary pioneer hours from 50 to 30 for the month of April. This has really excited all of Jehovah's people. Many of the brothers have talked to elders in various congs. and have said at least 50 percent of the publishers have signed up to aux. pion.
In our own cong. of 44 publishers, 30 have signed up to aux. pion. that is 70% of the cong. I guess 5 of the 44 are not baptized. It is just so exciting.
Then last night, i was hooked up for the meeting, and before the meeting, it was super noisy. In fact, I don't ever remember hearing it so noisy in the hall. The excitement just has everyone so encouraged.
Mostly i am doing letter writing. I try to do 1 hour a day. That hasn't happened though. I am only 1/2 behind on my time though. Today was tough though. I was sweating bullets just trying to write/ copy the letter. It just kept getting worse, by the third letter I was having to go letter by letter. I had to go lay down. I feel a little better now.
I do hand write letters. I just feel it is too impersonal to print them off the computer. I feel that, when people see a hand written letter they will think about it, ... someone took the time to hand write a letter, who does that anymore? At least I think people would think that... I would think that. So I think that will just stir people's interest in what is being said.
Stacy is going to come over Monday to do some writing with me. I am looking forward to that.
I thought about doing phone witnessing. I have such a hard time talking on the phone now. and when I do, i have to be alone without any distractions so i can concentrate on what is being said. Even then, my response time is just awful. So to have a group here to do that... is just beyond me. I talked to Stacy about it, and she totally understood. In fact she was able to finish my thought, as i was having trouble explaining it.
Stacy also told me a web site to go to so I can find addresses, for the NH slips I have. I just have had the hardest time doing it. So it will be a huge help to be able to do that now. Although Dianne offered to help me with it too.
Speaking of Dianne, she is very sick. She needs a kidney. Both Leon & Colton went in to get tested. Leon's test however, got mislabeled so they have to retake his test. I don't know if Colton was a match or not. Steph really wants to get tested, but they won't test her until she is 18.
I am getting a headache. that is all for tonight.
