We had the privilege to preach in the countryside a few times last year. Once a month a congregation nearby spends a day preaching to all the little towns in the surroundings. Starting from 8am, a group meets at the kingdom hall, at a brother's house. After a small consideration we would divide in different cars and get going for the adventure.

| On our way to Taday... |
First stop: Taday, a little town with a few hundred people. There is a big church in the middle of every town, even the smallest one. As soon as we get there, the church plays a song made specially for us announcing our arrival. People are very religious here, and what the priest says its the law. Some show interest but they are afraid to be seen talking to us, this could bring them problems with the priest.

We visit 2-3 other towns and stop at 12 for lunch. Our lunch spot is an abandoned house. It has plenty of space for parking and areas were we can sit. Once, we came by, and there was a dead cow, already smelling. We had to look for another place to eat. Some nice lady let us use part of her big land for the whole group to have lunch...

After lunch we divide in smaller groups and head to different little towns finishing up the day at 4 or 5pm. Even though we don't get the best response from people out here in the country, there are a few good RV's and studies. And we get to have this awesome adventures preaching around the countryside and getting full of mud....
