Sure there are assembly halls all over the US, especially Texas, but do you remember the time when we rented places for the assemblies? How was the sound organized? Where did the equipment come from?
Most likely there funds were especially set aside or equipment stored somewhere for just that use. Well here in Nicaragua they rented the local baseball stadium for the spanish assembly. Where did they get the sound equipment? They took it from our kingdom hall! And many others in the circuit.
Sound equipment is so expensive down here and they dont have a circuit fund they can dip into like we do or necessary a place to store this stuff. So, after the meeting we started taking the equipment apart to take it to the stadium. Their special day was on Sunday and they spent all day Saturday setting up, they had a few brothers stay up all night to watch over everything.
This was in Rivas, just a ferry ride over on Volcano Island - Ometepe, they had an assembly just for the 4 spanish congregations on the island. The ferry ride C$50/pp (<$2) each way is more than many could afford, so they cleared out a field in the back of one of the kingdom halls and had their assembly on Saturday.
