Sorry it has been so long since the last post. I'm hoping to posting more often. We are gearing up for a action packed April. We have our Special Assembly Day on April 9th. We are so excited because we have 30 who have signed up to auxiliary pioneer in April. So will have half of the congregation will be pioneering in April Yay :D
This weekend we are going to Wausaukee, WI to give a talk. We are going to be staying the night at Brother Russ Crawford's house. We went to pioneer school with him this last summer. It is about a 2 hour drive. Looking forward to meeting the friends in Wausaukee.
Recent experiences:
Sarah- College Student. I was calling on her roommate but could never find her so I struck up a conversation with her when we were placing the new Bible Message Brochure. She said she wasn't very religious, but she had some questions. I've come back a few times and shared some points with her from the Brochure. The last call I had with her was very nice. It was the week after the earthquake in Japan. She answered the door and said she was busy. But we got on the topic of the earthquake and she wanted to talk about it. She said her and her neighbor had been talking and wondered if these disasters are caused by God. I gave her some scriptures to look up since she was busy. I wrote them on a post it for her. Job 34:10 and Luke 21:11 show the prophecy of the events of the last days. She was so happy to have some scriptures to look up. So then I asked her if she had a Bible and she said no. I happened to have one in my bag and I gave it to her. I was holding it out to give it to her and she said, "your kidding right?" I was like,"No I'm not, It is yours if you would like it."
She was so happy to have it and said she has never had a Bible and couldn't believe I was giving it to her. I set up to come back and answer more questions she has from the Bible. I plan on placing the Bible Teach book and starting a study with her. Will keep you posted when we touch base.
Karla- She is my study. I have had her for about 2 months we are in chapter 4. Some background. She was Mike's call. She is a nurse and works nights. So I come around 3 pm every Tuesday. She is just waking up but she is always up to study and calls me when she can't make it. She even wanted to continue to study while I was on vacation! Amazing right? She really is appreciative and says so every week. When we were going over the appendix on Jehovah's name I gave her homework to see if she can find the divine name in her Bible. She said she couldn't find it in as many places as in the NWT. So she says," Well I might just have to get one of your Bibles if it has that name in it, because it is pretty important if it was in the original manuscripts 7,000 times." This week I'm tackling the Trinity with her :/ Not my fave topic but Bible Teach book does all the work for you. Keep you posted on how it goes.
Hope all is well with everyone. We love and miss you all.
Love, M+T
