My friend Ted finally was able to email Clover. Sounds like he's having a great time. I think the town he's staying in is called Futrono.
There's a small group of about 27 publishers, very poor but rich spiritually. They welcomed Ted with a party and even baked a cake that said, "Welcome Ted Starkey" on it in English. (Speaking of, he got to witness once in English because the man had studied it in England.)
Ted said the territory is like a whole different world and time. It must be nice preaching where so many people are happy to have visitors and have real a hunger for truth. Of course, they're very interested in him -- he must really stand out. He got a kick out of a little girl wanted to know what was wrong with his eyes, why they were blue.
This last Saturday they went to the country. In their territory there was a house on the side of the mountain, but they could find no road or path, so they just started walking up the mountain through the forest. It wasn't long before Ted was in mud half way to his knees. LOL He said they made it to the house and talked with an old lady, but never did find the road. :D
After service they took a bus to a congregation about 3 hours from here, because his friend was to give the talk the next day. They arrived late Sat. night, about 10 pm, but the whole Congregation was there waiting with food and music.
Here are a few pics he sent. (Ted is the bald one & the other two are his roommates.)
