Jenifer did get baptised, as you can see here! Another sister in the queue had big problems getting baptised. She is afraid of water and wouldn’t put her head under. After many attempts she succeeded! There were 15 baptised.
There were some particularly nice interviews. One was a brother Steve studies with last year. He started studying 27 years ago. Became a publisher and then fell back and became a drunkard. About 5-6 years ago he started studying again but struggled to overcome his problem. Finally last year he succeeded and was baptised and is still doing well now! Gives us hope for those students who do not act immediately on what they learn. I just hope I don’t get any student who take that long. I don’t think there is time left.
Another brother who is single and a pioneer was having problems with his work taking too many hours. He had to decide between pioneering and his job. He decided to give up his job. That is a big sacrifice here. It took him two months and he found another suitable one. The bros interviewing him asked him how often he went without food for those two months and he replies that he didn’t sleep hungry even one night. This was very encouraging and surprising to the brothers in a place where going to bed hungry is not that unusual. Many here are choosing between work and meetings, never mind work and pioneering, it is good for the bros to see practical examples of how Jehovah fulfils his promise to ‘add the necessary things’.
