some neat experiences

I thought this was cute, my first return visit that i got here is Melatina, i recently went to visit her and now so you have an idea she is probably in her 80´s and still moves about but her knees hurt her bad and has to have an operation on her eyes which she is still waiting to do. I really want her to come to one of the meetings here because she does not live far from the kingdom Hall, she said she would like to go but that her legs hurt her so bad so i told her i´d carry her, she liked that and laughed and she invited me to come back for coffee and cookies and so i did, she wasnt feeling good and was actually laying down resting and got up just to visit me the sweetheart, even though i told she didnt have to because she was feeling bad. So we chatted more and i met her daughter, well i visit her tommorow and im going to ask her to see if she would be willing to go to the meeting if i hired a little moto to pick her up, so the story continues....until next week.

I have a study who has been studing for some time now, i kinda picked up the study from those that had studied with her beforehand and she has the goal of becoming a unbaptized publisher, which is great, she´s 16 years old and well i study with her on weds, well when we sat down to study and i asked here how things were and how her day was - the first thing that she wanted to tell me was that she had an opportunity to informal witness, she was able to explain to someone and show them from the bible that only a certain amount are going to the heavens and that the other group that serve Jehovah will live here on the earth...i was impressed and proud...she is applying what she is learning.

There is a territory that we work that is absolutely gorgeous, anna lousia is what it´s called, so my friend Cayli has a study there it´s about 1hr and 20 min to walk to her study and then there is even more beyond that. Well we were walking there one day and we see this old granpa with his shirt off so we greet him but he doesnt respond, i was thinking oh no maybe he doesnt like witnesses of something...so finally he says to us your Jehovah´s witnesses? yes we say. He asks us if we have the magazines because he enjoys reading them and we pleased that pull some mag´s out and he hands us some money, wow, because we can tell he doesnt have much, he also asks us if he can have a bible and that someone had promised him one the big referece bible because his eye sight is worsening and so we told him we were going to get one for him but that we didnt know about the big one because it takes time to order one and so we promised to visit him the following week and bring a bible an the new magazines, so we did and he generously gave us 20 cordobas as a donation for the bible and was very nice and we also met his grandchildren who were very respectful, we were very impressed, the boys name is Roberto and the sister is Guadalupe, I´m so bringing them a bible story book. When me and Cayli were heading back from her study and we passed by there house again we waved and said Adios, and passed by then we hear from behind the little boy Roberto yelling something to us but we were too far to hear and we were already running late to lunch with the circuit overseer, but we had to know was he was saying, she we hurried back and he tells us i just wanted to say that i hope it goes well with you or Que les vayan bien it´s like saying goodbye or save trip back to where were going.....we thought that was very sweet of that young man he´s only 9 years old or so and so we gave him a hug and told him we´d come back soon.
