> Good day brothers, as one brother said this is a good day to serve 
> Jehovah! Keith Neal serving in Mexico , Queretaro Ingles congregation.
> 
> Some friends have asked how are we doing with the out break of this 
> Swine flu. Certainly these are critical times; epidemic in Mexico and 
> a earthquake one right after the other, what else do you need to see 
> the composite sign of Jesus!
> 
> Our Circuit overseer and the Mexican Branch have instructed us; 
> contingent on the Mexican officials.
> 
> Congregation Meetings: In view that the local Authorities have 
> restricted public meetings, the Branch is recommending to hold the 
> Congregation Bible Study, Theocratic Ministry School , Service Meeting, 
> and The Watchtower study as a family at home. This will be in addition 
> to the Family worship arrangement. No congregation Meetings will be 
> held at the Kingdom Hall until May 10th.
> 
> Field Service: You can engage in informal witnessing, telephone 
> witnessing, letter writing, return visits and Bible studies. 
> Publishers need to call in advance to their students asking if it is 
> possible to have the study, making sure that there is no one sick at 
> home. The Branch is suggesting to wear surgical masks (or the type of 
> mask that is locally recommended) and to follow all the 
> recommendations given by the local health authorities.
> 
> Thank you for your support to the Brothers. You are certainly proving 
> to be "a hiding place from the wind" - Isa. 32:1, 2.
> 
> Subsequently we are doing fine, the streets of Queretaro are empty. 
> This something that is not normal, the streets are usual filled with 
> people and traffic. Queretaro houses about 1.5 million persons and 
> about two hours from Mexico city that has about 22 million persons. 
> You can get your ministry on there right? But this week the streets 
> are clear. But we are ready, we have a good program of letter writing 
> and telephone witnessing in finding English speaking persons. So our 
> ministry goes on. Donna and I are setting up for this evening to have 
> our meeting in our home as suggested. We will not miss out on the 
> spiritual food. One other thing, this is why we need to follow the 
> Society's direction on Disaster Preparedness, we don't know what can 
> happen.
> 
> So now I have to run out to the grocery store.
