In my view, it was a blessing of a lifetime to serve with my wife on the Circuit after spending our early years raising five children. Jehovah opened a door that required full trust in his holy spirit and directives from the faithful slave. Each week, it touched by heart to help and work alongside our dear brothers and sisters. Clara was always ready to help. She was a true beacon for me when anything seemed obscure or difficult. Looking back, the experience that we had with our own children helped us to be patient and loving with the friends.
