Hello all my spiritual brothers and sisters on here!  I hope everyone is staying safe, and doing well!  I became a great- Aunt in January!  My great- niece gave birth to a healthy baby boy, and named him Elias! My niece posted their photos on Facebook!  They already have a daughter, now their family is complete!  Yes, they are Jehovah's Witnesses too, and have been in several dramas at our former Conventions!  I had the most wonderful experience today!  My niece, has some medical issues,, and uses a wheelchair, and a powerchair! I'm staying with now, temporarily,until I  can afford to rent my own place, placed a Bible Teach book, with Sam,  last year, who installed some ramps for her to use to go to her doctor's appointments!  We've haven't seen him for several months! Sam, came today, to replace one of the ramps that was too high for her powerchair, so, he was telling me how he appreciates Jehovah's Witnesses, because, we give hope to people! I invited him and his family to our special talk , Sunday, the week before our Memorial, and The Memorial, and  I  also placed a Memorial Invitation with him!  I said yes, we try to preach to everyone we can, but since the Pandemic, we've been instructed by the governing body, to stop attending our kingdomhalls, and going door- to door, cart witnessing! So now we either do telephone witnessing, which I do, or letter writing! He was telling me, his brother had a stroke, and that someone had sent him a letter, his brother asked him, did you give out my phone number to anyone, or my address, he replied to him, no! He said, well somehow, somebody, wrote him a letter, but he didn't know how they knew his contact information! I explained to Sam, that we are using telephone lists  with their contact information, to call people in our territories, and also people's addresses to those who are doing the letter writing!  So, far, I usually talk to a very few people that aren't interested, or it's a wrong number, or their phone number has been disconnected!  My niece, has received two letters herself, and even my son received one!  So, I exchanged emails, and phone numbers with Sam, and I told him, that we have a Hospital Liasion Committe, that is made up of Elders, and when one of the Witnesses, or his family, go to the hospital, they are contacted, and they go visit the person, trying to spiritually upbuild them, read them scriptures, my niece had  been hospitalized several times, and the Hospital Liasion Committee, came to visit her during her hospital stay!  Sam, gave me, his sister- in- law's phone number, and  as soon as I have time, I'm going to call my Field Service Overseer and let him know that Sam, told me that his brother and sister- in- law would appreciate a visit from them!  I will keep you up- to- date what happens next!  Only Jehovah reads hearts, and I know Jehovah was so proud of me today, telling Sam about our upcoming Memorial!  Also offering to call his brother's wife!  Jehovah answered my prayer, tomorrow, I receive my first payment from my Social Security Disability Benefits tomorrow! I need my right hip to be replaced, and now I'm enrolled in Medicare! I also have a wonderful Drug Prescription Plan too!  Well, it's time for me to get ready for my Tuesday Midweek meeting tonight on Zoom!  I hope you enjoyed reading about my wonderful experience today!  Take care of yourselves, always trust in Jehovah, and rely upon him more now than before, we are deep in the last days of this system of things, and we never know, what's going to happen, only Jehovah knows! I would like to also add, in July, it's been 49 years since I dedicated my life to serve Jehovah!  It's the best decision of my life, and I belong to Jehovah!  I also, turn 64 years young in May!  Agape love, Shirley!!!
