I went down to help my daughter move back here and while there I stopped by the KH. They were cleaning up the lawn and parking lot. Another car drove up beside me about the time I got out. Everyone was friendly and the couple in the other car was from Fla, was moving up to SC, had bought a house but was going back to sell their old house in Fla. The local bro. came up about that time and we all talked for a while. The couple from Fla wanted to find someone to keep the lawn trimmed while they were away. The bro. said he would take care of it for them. The Sis from Fla was a pioneer and her husband was going to start when they moved.
I mentioned that I had been inactive for thirty years, had served as PO, Wt study conductor, ministry school servant, cong book study conductor all at the same time and just got tired out and quit. He said he could understand. Nothing else was mentioned about me being inactive.
I kind of enjoyed talking to them for a few minutes. There were three congregations in the hall. Two english and one spanish. This is the cong. where one in the spanish cong. killed his wife and two children. I didn't mention this though.
It's kind of strange, I still feel at home talking to them.
