    First weekend of the month, and our circuit is blessed! Right at this moment we are enjoying the Branch Visit; a visitor from the US branch giving a special talk at the Canada branch. We are watching the streaming.
     
    Next Saturday, we will be enjoying our Circuit Assembly, with the the Circuit Overseer.
     
    The weekend following that will be the special talk for the Memorial.
     
    Then, finally, the Memorial!
     
    What a busy month for us!!!

    We have a storm moving in, from Ałaska. 
    The weather people are giving dire warnings. Lots of snow and wind. (Tornado like winds) Lots. We live on a hill. I cannot and do not drive in snow. 
    Iʼd already decided to Zoom the meeting tomorrow. We got notice this evening that the meeting will be Zoom, for all of us. 
    There is a group of 4 of us sisters who do hospitality. When scheduled. We are scheduled for hospitality this Sunday. 
    It’s iffy for me. They do not clear the snow off our roads. We are on our own. Sometimes we are snowed in for days. 
    Then someone from the tribe will show up. Either to check on us, or bring us supplies. Depending on how long we have been snow bound. 
    They come up, break tracks for us, then we can think about getting off the hill. 
    We are as prepared as we can be.
    It is all in the attitude.

    Brother, thank you for the questions on the Bible reading each week.  I like to forward them to my service group/and others who have limitations in reading and understanding; looking for the answers to these questions (similar to our old Written Review) helps these brothers/sisters get a better understanding of the reading.  Thank you again - our meeting is on Tuesday night so I start to look for these questions early on Monday to forward and the publishers have enough time to read/study.  Thank you again.

    Hello my brother,
    please refresh my memory on how to find the section for searching Transcripts.  I’m looking for how to find the transcript for video “How our brothers are finding peace?”
     
    thank you in advance for your patience and kind understanding to a 70+ old sister who is not tech savvy.  Trying hard to keep up and learn.

    Came upon a new word yesterday. “Mensch”. A brother and sister were in the cart work. They spend 45 minutes at the cart, and 45 minutes, striking up conversations at a nearby mall.
    They came across a fellow that had lime green in his shoes. The sister commented, and, thus a conversation was started. 
    He was a Jew. 
    The fellow apparently asked why they were dressed as they were. They explained they were Jehovah’s Witnesses, and a bit about our work. Jehovah’s Wittnesses? You people are, “mensch”.
    If you look up that word, you will smile.

    Just got back from the assembly. As usual,  loved it. But one of the experiences…and from a dear friend. I donʼt remember which talk, but her experience. He unbelieving   husband husband is retired from law enforcement. 
    (This happened years ago)
    While she was out in the ministry, he came upon her car group. Turned his cop lignts on, pulled them over, and told her to get herself home. 
    “Wheres the car?”
    “At the hall.”
    “Well, go get it and come home”. 
    He has softened. I sat there at one of our quick builds, with him at our lunch table. (It was snowing, and he drove her to the quick build, with some of the food sheʼd prepared.) 
    There he sat. My heart was in a wonderous state. 
    Then, one time, I left my rig at their płace, (Assembły time) Itʼs white, and i live on a dirt road.) 
    I brought it home, spotless. 
    Another time, i went to a wine tasting event on the coast. Came home to, yes, a washed car. 
    I love on a dirt road…
    That time the brother told me, “I couldnʼt wash your feet, so i washed your car”. The brother was an elder. 
    Yes, we live just this side of paradise.

    This happened yesterday. We are having heating problems at the hall. As the meeting started, here came a sister, with an electric blanket she had heated up for us three, (well, two), older sisters,  and gifted us with a warm blanket,  (it was a smaller blanket her son gifted her with) 
    And, there we sat, all toasty. With whatever we brougnt in the first płace to keep warm. 
    Can it get any better?

    I am having such a hard time. I just got back from the meeting. One of our sisters has a son at Bethel. He sent her a way to see that meeting. I am bubbling over with fantastic news. Only to know, this is not really, really public yet. I’m on page 6 of the annual meeting thread…

    I fell asleep during the meeting today. Not nodded off. Went to sleep! A good half an hour. 
    The WT Conductor came and checked on me. He said, “Good. I was worried about you being depressed”. 
    Several came and made sure I was okay. No comments from Bea today. 
    I was sitting next to a good friend. She said she got sleepy, and realized I was asleep, and had to stay awake to make sure I didn’t fall over. 
    Know how you feel refreshed after a nap? I was that asleep! 
    I’m thinking about old people. Yes, old people, and how I viewed them when I was younger. 
    Curious. Here I am. Next. b’day, I will be 80. My memory is touch and go. I’ve lost some of my strength, but, I still can work hard in the garden, and outside. I don’t pick my feet up as I should. (We have stairs. They remind me once in a while.) 
    And, wisdom? Got to think on that one?
    (No, I did not snore. For which I’m thankful. I think my good friend would not have allowed that!

    We just got a Tesla system, 2 batteries.  (The batteries a grant, plus 7 panels, we bought. We made 1.5 kWh from the solar.used 3.7 hours on the power wall , and .02 from the grid. 1.5 from solar and 2 kWh from the power wall. I think.if these numbers don’t drive me crazy. An app tells us what’s going on. 
    We  normally use 8 kWh a day for the house. The battery can make 8 kWh a day. 
    This makes sense, eventually. I think.

    Well, it happened. Our dear brother died. It was like he was a part of my DNA. I’m full of cherished memories. And so grateful.
    His dear wife can start to heal. Jehovah just had his arms around her. He had cancer all over. I can still hear him saying, “I have a cough worse than Bea Nix.” (I’m known for a dramatic cough of unknown origin)  
    He was a center of our congregation. I told his wife, “He grounded me”. And, that he did!
    Add to broken hearts, he was of the anointed. Talk about conflicted. We knew we’d loose him, but just how.
    This is a special, unique thing I may never experience in my life again. And, yes, Jehovah will help us all to heal😓

    We are back to our wonderful Wednesday, after service, lunches. For me, they have changed a bit. I’m soon to be 79. The tribe brings us lunch, and dinner, on Wednesday’s. 
    So I, no cook, on Wednesdays. 
    I used to bring a main dish. Well, now, I bring myself, and something interesting to drink. Yesterday, I brought milk(whole) and Aztec Hot Chocolate. 
    One of our dear sisters came in, spied the hot chocolate, and, put it in her coffee! The hot scale. She registered it a 7. It’s actually a 3.
    We have such fun!
