On the weekends, I served circuit assemblies. We had no Assembly Halls. So the brothers would build a temporary roof of bamboo poles covered with palm branches to provide shelter from the hot sun. Because there was no refrigeration for the cafeteria, live animals were kept on hand and butchered as needed to feed the attendees.
We had some amusing experiences at those assemblies. Once Herb Jennings, a fellow missionary, was giving a talk when a steer escaped from the cafeteria. It bolted between the platform and the audience. Herb stopped talking and the animals seemed disoriented, But four strong brothers managed to restrain it and carry it back to the cafeteria, to the cheers of the audience.
