Spiritual Activity is THE BOMB
Yeah, that's a great experience Sabine. Thanks for sharing it. It's important that we share these "reports" with each other just like the apostles did in the first days of the ministry.
It certainly is a joy and privilege to discover ones that are searching for the truth and then to help them find answers is truly rewarding. We have to remember to stay on top of those ones even thought they may slow down in their study or get discouraged and stop for some time. Perseverance is key. That's my mantra right now.
I haven't shared the recent experiences I've had in the hall. I'm still conducting 4 fairly regular (they miss a week every once in a while) Bible studies and "one" of them is with 2-4 guys depending on who is there when I go on Sunday at 11am.
Carlos had been studying in the Require brochure for some time and he got a new job and then stopped. I was pretty dicouraged about it. But about 1 month and a half later, he showed up at the Kingdom Hall and we've since resumed his study. His job did change, and that's why, but I hope by the time he finds another new job, he'll appreciate the importance of staying regular. But he is a very good student and motivated, and has a strong love for the truth. Carlos brought a friend, Marcos, with him last Saturday and he said he enjoyed the meeting. A gave him a Bible Teach book and he said he would like to sit in on Carlos' study.
João used to study with Wayne Berry and Stephanie asked me to conduct it after he died. He is very serious about the truth. He has been coming to ALL of the meetings each week, including the School and Service Meeting, of which only a portion of the School is in Portuguese. He is trying apply Bible principles with his teenage children. And his life circumstances are difficult because he was divorced in recent years and struggles with raising his children properly. He wants to teach them the truth, but it seems as though they have no interest. I hope he continues to make progress.
There are so many Portuguese-speaking people that are expressing interest in the truth in Worcester. There are many studies to be conducted by there aren't enough people to conduct them all and follow up on all the interest. And that's just in Worcester! The territory is really much larger. It goes all the way out to Springfield.
It's nice to know that everybody in our family is active in the ministry. We can encourage each other, and amongst all of us, we should be able to share a lot of experiences!
Evan, I just read your blog about your student that is having a hard time and it was really funny. I'm thinking about going home and 'making the cook and doing the eat' myself. :)
Maybe I'll just make out with the cook. :)
Love you guys.
