So lovely to see the Mongolian sister who cannot leave her yurt, but is still active in the ministry and got a visit at home by the visiting brothers.


Any day now...

Did anyone else catch a humorous scene in the Japanese bible press room?

Beautiful report, my life is so comfortable compare to many in Asia.  What a privilege to be part of this family, nothing like it on earth.

The giggling?

 

I went to the Japan Bethel, and they are the loveliest brothers and sisters.  A lot of happy memories of my visit.  How wonderful to see our family in Asia  .

edit:  on rewatching several times, I do notice this brother trying not to laugh. I guess I just thought something really funny happened but that I totally missed it.  (I miss a lot of things.)

It could just be that it’s the 50h shot doing the very same thing and they are getting a bit tired.

Sorry, I may be reading too much into it.

But, it appeared the brother on the left was sniffing under his arms. The one on the right had a stifled laughter.

I hope none of this appeared demeaning to anyone.

 

I’ve worked in the pressroom for over 30 years at various printing companies, so I know the silly little things we all do. Like any assembly or factory environment, you cannot stop or slow down. If any problems come up, they must be resolved quickly or you risk having to shut the whole press/line down. Because of the limited time, you may get creative with things. On the other hand, when things go smoothly, it can become very, very monotonous. This is an area that prompts many to leave the job. 

So, it’s always far more engaging when there’s someone that provides a sense of humor, whether intentional or unintentional. It makes the day memorable and go by much faster. And, this is as it should be.

Oh haha you may be right. Either that or his brow was dripping sweat and he wanted to catch/wipe it.  (he couldn't use his palms as he is wearing gloves)

 

Whatever he did, it does appear that he is the reason the other brother begins laughing, and then trying not to! 

[digital_dreamer]

Oh! Wiping his brow sounds so much better!
