We Jordan kids think that Bible Lesson nights are fun. We get to stay up late because the meeting starts right at our normal bedtime, 7 pm. Before the meeting, we have an early dinner and then take turns riding with Dad to pick up Agutaynens who live on the outskirts of the village. Dad’s truck is not a bus, but we can still pack in 20 people at a time, sometimes more! It’s nice to help Agutaynens get to the meetings each Wednesday evening, and take them home afterward, so that they don’t have to walk for so long, especially when it’s rainy or muddy.
There are lots of kids who come to the Bible lessons, and we have fun playing with them before and after the meeting. We don’t take anything with us to the meeting, like books or toys. We need to sit quietly because we want our friends to listen to the Bible lesson, and not be distracted by watching us play. It’s hard sometimes to sit still for the whole hour. We can tell what stories are being taught because Mr. Manfred and Dad hang up pictures. But we can’t understand very much of what they are saying. We look around and pray quietly for Mr. Manfred and Daddy, and for all of the people who are there. It’s fun to see all the people who are still coming to the Bible lessons, and we pray that they will soon be our brothers and sisters in the Lord.
