July 2007 Lectureship

 

What a great week, so far. The singing is absolutely unbeleivable. The enthusiasm is contagious. The speakers are doing an excellent job. The fellowship is outstanding. Dwight Whitesett and David Carr are doing an excellent job covering Colossians. Joseph Stewart, from Hawaii, is doing a great job teaching the men's class. Anne Carr is having a great ladies' class. All is going well. We had hoped to have 150 people in attendance. That happened on Monday night with a count of about 153. Last night, it was estimated that close to 200 attended. We're bringing in more chairs and people are standing at the back and just outside the building. Yesterday morning, David and Anne Carr, Dwight, Tia Misa, Luaao Soli and I were on the morning talk show "Talofa Samoa". We were the first 1/2 hour of the show. We have had members from 8 congregations attend this week (Tafuna, Nu'uuli, Leone, Waipahu (in Hawaii), Vaimoso (in Western Samoa), Hunter Valley (in Australia), Cleveland (in Australia), and University (in Abilene) - Yes, I'm counting our speakers. I am videotaping the singing and lessons each day (messed up on Monday night, though). Remember, it will be David quality, not professional.
