Hi everyone, just wanted to let you all know that the demo for our game is finally here! See the link below to try it out for yourself on Macs or Windows PCs. This is just the beginning of a long term project, but we're thrilled to reach this milestone!
In other news, I've begun the preliminary work of research on a new writing project. As mentioned in my last post, there's no way this novel will be released in 2021, but I did want to let you all know that something is in the works. It'll be a very different story than those from previous books, but I'm really excited to get started (once I have the time)!
Finally, I wanted to share a personal experience related to the memorial campagin that I enjoyed a couple of weeks ago. A woman and her husband were contacted via letter and invitation and called our Kingdom Hall number in response. The message the wife left was a little odd, as she expressed what sounded like concern for our having her personal information (name and address).
Upon returning her call, I explained that Witnesses around the world had turned to letter writing and phone calls due to the pandemic. She then seemed quite relieved, and explained that she and her husband had been wondering why they hadn't seen the Witnesses around for so long. I then inquired about whether she'd received the invitation, and she said that she had, and that it looked interesting. After explaining how the memorial would be held virtually (thankfully, she's familiar with Zoom!), I also invited her to our weekly meetings, the next of which was being held the following day. To my surprise, she said that she would be there, and sure enough she attended that very next meeting!
Following this first meeting, she wrote an email expressing how impressed she was with the children's Bible knowledge and the friendliness of those in the congregation. She also asked some questions regarding the content of the meeting, which I answered briefly along with relevant JW.org links. The next week I wrote again, explaining how JW Library and WOL can be used to prestudy for meetings. I stressed that prestudying is important due to the quick pace of the program. She agreed, and they were once again in attendance at the following weekday meeting, this time prepared with their own Bibles and additional laptops open to our website so they could follow along.
Experiences like this just go to show that there are still some in our territory who are searching for a "pearl of high value" and who, for one reason or another, are only now finding it.
Have a great rest of your week, everyone, and if you do play our game, be sure to leave us your feedback!
