Field Experience

So I had a request to post a nice experience and decided to share this one with you all. A sister in my congregation was out of town so myself and another sister meet up to take over her study for the week. We had our study in a coffee shop which was pretty empty since we got there when it opened. We were just about done with a 2 hr study and a lady walked over to our table. She said "Excuse me, I overheard you talking, I have me own religion and faith but I feel like this is an opportunity for me to learn more about God, may I please join your lessons?" I was in a moment of shock trying to figure out if i heard correctly..I  did, we arranged for her to join the following study and she was excited when I gave her a personal copy of the Bible Teach Book. I look forward to hearing about her progress and hopefully seeing her at the meetings! Its very encouraging to experience these things and I hope you all are encouraged by it as well.

Also in the July study edition of the Watchtower there is a really nice article of serving in Ecuador, take a look at it when you get a chance I'm sure you'll find it interesting! Take care everyone and please let us know how you are all doing.

  5. Awesome! Keep up your good works!! Loved the Ecuador article, too.
    Yesterday in early morn witnessing, sis in our car group walked up to woman sitting in car, texting on cell.
    Karen offered her mags, woman says: Yes! I really need that! I can't believe you're here! How did you know
    I was here?
    Turned into nice conversation, exchanged phone numbers and plans to get together for Bible discussion.
    We all know how we happened to show up at the right time: Holy Spirit!
    Muchas gracias por compartir sus experiencias. Que Jehovah siga bendiciendo a todos sus esfuerzos!
