His First #3 Talk

How would you feel about giving a #3 talk?  Great we'll schedule you in ...  just kidding, we got it covered.  But this is about a #3 talk.

Remember back when you had to prepare your 1st outline.  No, not a reading but your first "TALK."  Yes, remember waaaaaaaaaay back!  How old were you?

Well one young brother in our congregation will give his first #3 talk on Nov. 25, which happens to coincide with the day he was born. On that exact day he will be 10 years old!  He is planning on giving this talk from an outline.  What a privilege it is to help him prepare and practice, and I must say, he is rather amazing for a 9 year old.

This young brother, who is being raised by his widowed mother, helps with the mics in our congregation. He also gets about 30 hours a month in service, despite being in school 4 days a week.  He is working on getting studies and RVs and is conducting his first study with and older gentleman who owns a book store in Centro.  Often he will take doors himself and even engage in approach work.

Don't you wish you started life with the same focus?  Where would you be now?  He already has the goal of going to Bethel when he is 19 years old.  I look forward to visiting him there in 10 years.

It is one of the greatest joys of being here, serving alongside such focused and dedicated ones like young Rodrigo.  It is amazing how much we can help widows and orphans, but is also amazing how much we receive in return, a hundred fold more than we ever give.

It's a pleasure to share the experience of my best bud here in Pachuca. I hope you enjoyed!
