No longer in Brazil, according to a letter sent today to all the congregations in Brazil:

Ref .: Accommodation in Bethel
Dear Brothers:
In recent years, there has been a great privilege to stay in Bethel those be welcome for over 10 years as regular pioneers and be encouraged by the zeal they have shown. - Rom. 1:11, 12.
But due to various projects of reform and construction, we are with few accommodation for guests. Thus, we can no longer meet the hosting applications at Bethel made by those who are serving for over 10 years as regular pioneers.
However, the accommodations that have been confirmed by the Branch will stand. Please hailing those who are serving for over 10 years as regular pioneers know this setting.
On this occasion, we wish them the rich Jehovah's blessing.
Your brothers,
Note to the body of elders:
