An Interchange of Encouragement : )

[Friends just call me Ross]

Following that terrible earthquake in Nepal, and the ensuing aftermath, I was thrilled, comforted and encouraged to see photos from our brothers and sisters in the congregations there, that were posted on  JW.org.

 

Well, it turns out that our Nepalese brothers and sisters are just as thrilled, comforted and encouraged to see photos of their brothers and sisters in other congregations of their world-wide brotherhood.

 

After our meeting today, one of our elders said that he had an announcement to make.  A friend of ours, who is assigned in Nepal, had sent him an email requesting us to send our brothers and sisters in Nepal a picture of our congregation.  

 

Our elder asked if we'd like to send our beloved brothers in Nepal some comfort and encouragement.

 

The reply was a resounding "Yes!"           

So he rounded us all up in front of the stage and snapped this photo:

Seems easy, but I think it will be American Sign Language, isn't it?

No one will understand this at our sign language group here, I think...

Sorry a bit OT.

Yes, ASL (American Sign Language) .

 

You know how we Americans are - "What doesn't EVERYONE speak English??"  

 

EDIT: Have you seen any of our SciFi shows?? We even think ALL aliens speak English too!!
