The last day in my adopted city is always emotionally complicated. I’m so thankful to have been here, but so mindful of how many opportunities were missed. This particular last day was the day of our public lecture. We really never know what to expect here. The brethren work hard to do it well, but we still wait with some apprehension to see what will happen. We did have four visitors, and that was encouraging. In addition to what we may accomplish during the presentation, the lectures are videoed and posted to a website that has a good bit of traffic. Our efforts are still a work in progress. It was great to see the diligence and spirit of the Christians as they worked to engage the visitors even after the Q&A session lasted for an hour after the lecture ended. Got back home late, and needed to pack and clean to be ready to fly out the next morning.
