ახალ წელს გაუმარჯოს!
This week was miraculous. We started
teaching four new people who actually are engaged and interested in Gospel
learning. Two referrals were from outside the country, one self-referral, and
one from the Facebook page. This is in very stark contrast to last week, during
which we had almost every single meeting cancel on us. I think we probably had
two meetings the whole week with one of them being late Sunday night. Not only
did we start teaching four new friends, but we had multiple meetings with them
and two of them joined into our Sabbath worship call with the members
yesterday. To top it all off, there was a baptism in Armenia. The stone cut out
of the mountain without hands is just rolling and rolling and rolling.
We also watched a couple of movies in Georgian
this week. We heard really good things about Soul, but it's
not in Georgian quite yet, so our tutor had us watch Frozen II instead.
It also really good. I was surprised at all the great lessons contained within
it. I personally like it a lot better than the first. And the songs are
awesome. I highly recommend it.
We celebrated Orthodox Christmas this week on
January 6 and Old New Years (Orthodox) will be in a couple of days,
January 13. They didn't have their classic parade due to COVID which made us
sad, but we still went to Sameba, the big church, to remind us of last year's
celebration with missionaries. Oh, how much it has changed. We are so glad to
still be out here. If we get new missionaries before I leave, I don't know what
I'll do. The number of changes this mission has gone through in the past 24
months is crazy. It's a good place to be.
Well everyone, keep on praying. God wants to
hear from you. I'll see you all soon.
