Down and Out in Jamaica...But Field Service is Booming

So, we were invited to Jamaica for relief work for two weeks in May. We looked into going for just a week but the brothers are looking for more of a commitment. We understand that it works a certain way, but it goes without saying that we are a little disappointed. Especially when it's wicked cheap to go! (Like $750 for 2 tickets)

But, on the bright side, I started a Bible study with a Brazilian woman that works at gas station and she said another man works there that has been reading the magazines and is also interested. What a good experience!

So, this morning I decided that I enjoyed pioneering so much this month that I am going to do it again next month! It will be a lot of work but I feel so much better being more active in service. It just seems like there are so many opportunities for Bible studies! I technically have 1 right now, but in a couple weeks it will be three and then maybe four. The study I have now is with a man I've studied with three times, a man I've studied with twice and one other man who was only there once. They study all together because they live in the same house and the time is good for all of them. And then, of course, after 3 studies with the 'mulher' at the gas station I can count that one too. Of course, "it's not about counting the numbers--it's about making the numbers count". But it's great to see results!!!

Soon, I want to post some pictures of our Portuguese class and some of our classmates. Coming soon!
