Memorial was amazing!

We had the priveledge of suporting the Sussex Congregation. A new little congregation just 40 minutes from where we live now. The children and I had enjoyed helping them distribute their campaign invitations. Attending the memorial was a great experience. There are only 16 publishers in the congregation, it was 15 publishers a few weeks ago, they are growing. With 16 publishers they had a memorial attendance of 229! They are in a very rural area, many walk on average 30 to 45 minutes to meeting at a local school. Some walk over an hour.

After the memorial we used our vehicle to help transport people to their outlying villages as most do not go out after dark. There is no public transport at night and certainly no street lights.

It was neat seeing families walking together and also some riding motorcyles to the memorial. Motorcycles are the local "taxi" transport in rural areas where the roads are not really good enough for regular vehicles, they don't run after dark though. One of the motorcycles came carrying a family of five. Most cannot affort the 35 cents for a motorcycle ride, therefore they walk.

Heard you got flurries in New Hampshire again this past week! Brrr. Keep warm!
