Bohol - Schedule changes

My goal was to leave by 9:30pm, we almost made it, but then there was a humourous episode.  The married couple (lives next door) came over and wanted to know what the Bible says about a row (an argument or fight. British slang. - rhymes with Wow) they had a while back.  We had just switched all these guys from the Listen To God Broch. to the BH book this evening. While the couple are "presenting their case," to me, not quietly, the lady grabbed her copy and eagerly whispered to my partner Rose: "Is there anything in this book about couples fighting?" That's her now reading/counseling them. It was all done in love but isn't it so cute when they can turn to publications knowing the practical value they have?  And it's even funnier when they cunningly use the knowledge they've gained to give me a "yeahbutt?"  i.e When the husband admitted he did say that to his wife, he says, " Yeahbutt, it's not my fault! The whole world is in Satan's control and so he made me do it!"  It was quite a laughable evening.  My 9:30pm goal was extended to leaving at 11pm. . .  

On our way to Bohol - 4 days - 45 min plane ride. The guy holding the selfie stick, and the girl wearing glasses (far right) graduated with us in SKE.  Their family and friends came from Florida.  The couple with short white hair/pink shirt have a great "JW Broadcast" type story. Use to be workaholics. Trapped in their jobs.  2 hour publishers for many many years. Seemed like there was no way out.  But they gave it all up which was not easy.  RPs now. They went from 2 to 70 in a few months! We had hours and hours of spiritual conversations on the beach. It's amazing when you just meet someone and it feels like you've known each other for years.  


Taking jump shots as quickly as possibly because it's too hot to be out there.  
Our meeting schedules have changed. We are now Monday nights (grrrr) and Saturdays 8:30am (even more GGRRRRRRRR!)  But the changes are due to a privilege.  Our cong. will be recording it's meetings on video to be uploaded for publishers in Tagalog speaking cong. around the world who are unable to go to the KH.
