00:00:31
I did.00:00:33
00:00:33
They’re amazing! 00:00:34
00:00:34
How long

00:00:36
As long as I can remember. 00:00:39
00:00:39
It’s my way
of being able to share00:00:41
00:00:41
all the stories of my life.00:00:43
00:00:43
Could you show me?00:00:46
00:00:46
Yes, of course!00:00:48
00:00:48
I remember a time when I was young
and in East Germany. 00:00:51
00:00:51
We weren’t allowed to do our work
as Jehovah’s Witnesses;00:00:55
00:00:55
we were under ban.00:00:57
00:00:57
I helped in copying
our Watchtower magazines by hand00:01:01
00:01:01
and then hiding them in food.00:01:03
00:01:03
You did?00:01:04
00:01:04
Yes! 00:01:05
00:01:05
We’d then send the food
to our brothers who were in prison.00:01:10
00:01:10
I was also asked to help
in distributing Bible literature00:01:13
00:01:13
to our congregations
as an underground messenger.00:01:17
00:01:17
Wow!00:01:18
00:01:18
Time passed and then things
started getting better in Berlin.00:01:22
00:01:23
Shortly after,
I immigrated to New York. 00:01:26
00:01:26
And I met my darling husband.00:01:30
00:01:32
Wow, that was a great story!00:01:34
00:01:34
Thank you. 00:01:35
00:01:35
But I’m sure you have stories. 00:01:38
00:01:38
What do you like to draw?00:01:40
00:01:40
Well, actually, here! 00:01:43
00:01:43
This was the time
when Caleb and I went to the park,00:01:46
00:01:46
and we met a little girl there.00:01:48
00:01:48
I’m glad I reached out that day. 00:01:50
00:01:50
Lasting friends can be of any age
when they love Jehovah.00:01:54

Making Friends
Sister Elsa,
did you paint these?
I did.
They’re amazing!
How long
have you been drawing?
As long as I can remember.
It’s my way
of being able to share
all the stories of my life.
Could you show me?
Yes, of course!
I remember a time when I was young
and in East Germany.
We weren’t allowed to do our work
as Jehovah’s Witnesses;
we were under ban.
I helped in copying
our <i>Watchtower </i>magazines by hand
and then hiding them in food.
You did?
Yes!
We’d then send the food
to our brothers who were in prison.
I was also asked to help
in distributing Bible literature
to our congregations
as an underground messenger.
Wow!
Time passed and then things
started getting better in Berlin.
Shortly after,
I immigrated to New York.
And I met my darling husband.
Wow, that was a great story!
Thank you.
But I’m sure you have stories.
What do you like to draw?
Well, actually, here!
This was the time
when Caleb and I went to the park,
and we met a little girl there.
I’m glad I reached out that day.
Lasting friends can be of any age
