Fly Fly Little One

And so like a mother with her little chicks our congregation is experiencing the joy and bittersweet contentment of knowing that yes it is time...time to...time to...part ways.  As of September 1, 2011 we will be El Paso North Sign Language Congregation and El Paso East Sign Language Congregation.  Our congregation has grown so much in such a short time and we are so thrilled that we've had the opportunity to be right in the middle of all of the zeal and excitement!  However, it is so hard to know that despite the fact that of course it is not goodbye, there will be an inevitable distance that will make it difficult to see each other in our congregations as much as we would like.

Here in El Paso FAMILY is of utmost importance, and the congregation truly becomes your family.  To know that I won't see some of the little ones that have become so dear every meeting breaks my heart in two.  Honestly, how am I ever going to inculcate the correct way to do silly faces, and the manner in which to speak French badly, and how to trace your hands on paper while ending up with more ink on yourself than the actual paper?!  Jajaja... I think I'm ready to be an aunt...ahem...StfBda....oh sorry had to clear my throat there.... just joking.... The little ones here are absolutely precious and I am thrilled that we will still have a number of young ones in our new congregation as well.  They just add so much to the meetings and bring the truth to a level of understanding that keeps us all humble.

I will also dearly miss watching all of our Elders together.  The wonderment of watching such a variety of cultures, personalities, and backgrounds working together in one group has been a joy to behold.  We thank you for all of your hard work!

I have considered it a true privilege to be among such wonderful brothers and sisters and can't wait to watch us continue to grow...May Jehovah bless all of you dear sweet brothers and sisters.

And for all of you with excitement and splitting of congregations, and moving to new areas, we are so proud of you all and can't wait to hear how everything is going!  What an amazing time to live in, to be a part of such growth and what a smile it must bring to all those watching.

Loads of Love,
Meg
