Experiences

So we are getting settled and thought I'd share a few exciting experiences with you.

This first one was about 3 weeks ago. We were in Quito and doing some survey work looking for English speaking people on Saturday morning before our meeting. As we were walking down the street and meet 5 taxi drivers one who turned out that they spoke English. After speaking to him for a bit we left him with an invite to the meeting and he showed up. Not only that but he has come every Saturday since.

A few days ago Heidi was out and they went into a garage. Upon entry they were told that no one spoke English but upon looking at one gentleman he then actually said he spoke English. They sat down with him and he proceed to tell them that he was just talking on Facebook with his sister and was having issues with is ex-wife. His sister told him he needed to look into God and find religion. He then looks at the girls and tells them that they then just walked in. They proceed to demonstrate a study and he accepted an invite and said he would be there Sunday.

This one happened yesterday. We are house sitting for a few days in a high rise building with a security guard. As we got the keys to our new home 2 blocks away I started to move yesterday. The guard was curious and I explained we were house sitting but now have our apt and would be moving in. He asked a few question and realizing that my going out every morning I must be studying the bible with people. he asked where we were doing this and I explained it was in home. He then asked if I could study with him so I said yes of course and brought him the book as well as an invite to the meeting.

We will keep you posted on more.
