Miss Bea

I feel devistated, yet upright, only thanks to Jehovah. My dear friend an i were on our way to a memorial for a brother two congregations down the road. A wonderful young spiritual brother. Cancer. 
I was at the hall to meet Paula. To go to the memorial, a couple of hours down the highway. I got a text while i was waiting. (I was early, for a change) A very dear pioneer sister, in her 50ʼs,  at an hospital north of San Francisco, it was decided to pull the life support system. Iʼm still upset at the circumsrances that put her there. Two weeks ago she was on our Monday meet for service Zoom meeting. With a bottle of cough sryup she was given at the clinic she visited. By Wednesday, they took her out town in an ambulance. Before they could get her stabilized enough to even operate, she crashed 3 times. They got her through two surgeries, was on the ventelator. She was off it, long enough to talk to her mother and sister on the east coast. Ended back on the ventelator. 
So, we were getting ready to go to a funeral, before we left the parking lot at the hall, we get this text. And it was too much. We visited, cried, visited. 
A brother in our hall died a few weeks ago. His memorial is coming up. Heʼd been sick for

some time. 77 years old. So, another widow for our little congregation. 
And, Bobby and Jerry…

This is almost too much. But Jehovah has been doing his best to be here for us. And, he is. Here for us. Have you any idea how grateful and thankful i am?

Our little congregation could use your prayer. 
 

Only in Jehovahs organization can you leave your dead ipad, in a place where you know you will not forger it, come back. It’s not there anymore. A brother says, i know it was there. Lets check. Itʼs in the “elders room”, being charged. 
That’s how we roll, brothers and sisters!

Funny experience. See The Good Land and myself have been on an adventure. When that tribe did major work on our house, a lot of things were boxed up. Some of our books still are. (Intended book cases, still don’t exist) Any way, my map booklet disappeared. I’ve looked and looked and looked, even thought of copying maps to have them at my fingertips. eBay? Yep. One for $79.00, and one for $59.00. I kid you not. But, there was a Chinese one for $10.00. I kept going back. No more English ones, (except those two, apparently edged with gold on the pages) 
I ordered the Chinese one. A map is a map. I figured turning it into English would be educational.

Well, I am now the proud owner of one! (Not Chinese!) I was out in service and mentioned this saga to the brothers in the car. 
Julio said, “have them at the hall”. 
I’m still shaking my grateful head. 

I want to have it at my fingertips when what I’m studying starts mentioning things pertaining to travel…

Jehovah did not forget how badly I wanted that booklet, and gifted me with one in the best possible way!
