Argentina Bethel tour

In the heart of Buenos Aires is the Argentina Bethel of JW'S.  They have a museum and time line showing how the work has progressed over the years in Argentina and Uruguay.

 My favorite(Taylor) part of the tour was seeing this post of Brother Russel having a debate with differnt religious leaders of that time. Here they are drawn as lions to represent Daniel in the lions pit.  On the chalkboard behind brother Russel some of the ridiculous beliefs of the other religions are written in a very witty way.  



My favorite part of the tour (Kyria ) was getting to hold a working phonograph for the preaching work  it had a secret compartment for a Bible and magazines and it was quite an advanced invention for the time as it was able to be held vertically while continuing to play i almost dropped it in true Kyria style but i try not to dwell on that.



We enjoyed all of the exhibits.  Kyria enjoyed seeing the bike that belonged to one of the very first missionaries in Uruguay. So much so that she wanted to ride home on it. But I told her that stealing from the house of God is bad.  So she left it alone. 

There are lots of languages spoken in Agrentina. The need in all of these indigenous languages is very great in this country  .
