How is everyone?? This last week with the Circuit Overseer was amazing, wasn't it? I got to go out in service with him three time!! That's more than I have EVER went out with him in the two years we have had him..
Today was his last day with us. Toward the end of his talk he started talking about how hard it was to leave his congregation, friends, and family to go to his first assignment. But how, in each circuit, he meets new people and gets to know them and finds new friends and family.
Brother Letcher was different than any C.O I have ever been with. In EVERY talk he gave, he made it real. He somehow made everyone in his audience literally believe that Armageddon is gonna be here next week. He helped us all to reflect and to make major changes in our congregation.
Since have Brother Letcher with us, our congregations hours in field ministry has increased to an average of 13hrs! After listening to his talks though, it makes you want to do more for Jehovah then you have ever done before!!
And who remember The Flight to Pella??? That talk was so thought provoking! He not only explained the story in a way that made it so real, but he applied it to our day! He asked us "If the Society told us all to flee to Houston right now.. Would you go? Or would you go back to get together all of your things?" We were all ready to leave the kingdom hall, get in our cars and flee to Houston by the end of his talk!!
I am going to miss Brother Letcher so so so much.. And it really stinks that we only got to have him for two years.. But I am really happy for his next circuit! The talks they will be able to hear and the experiences they will be able to have is priceless... AND here come the water works again.. Darn!!
