GREAT SERVICE DAY

We had a productive day preaching ,we headed to another part of the city very busy area,today was street witnessing ...I worked with kimmie a young girl 27 who serves here 6 mths and lives 6 mths in New Jersey, she met a man in a school who seem to be the one in charge and he spoke English , so she went over the Truth Tract n asked to come back and he said yes and as we were leaving we realized an office worker spoke English so I spoke to her and went over tract and read some scriptures I got her info so kimmie will come back to her as well...We also met a man in the park who came up to us and spoke Spanish but when we spoke English he spoke back and winds up being from manhattan , so I went over the tract with him and gave him the info and invite to the hall ...It seems like that's the thing here you invite people to the meeting before you study with them and they show up...Last month in this congregation ( Santiago English) they conducted almost 100 studies so the growth is TREMENDOUS !!!And the other day we did door to door and street work and one of the brothers found a college student walking by and left her with the truth tract ...One of the sisters (Pam) wanted to get her info so she said lets come back here next week same day n time to find her , well that nite we go out to eat and Pam looks at me to look at the table across from us and it was the same girl ...So she suggested kimmie ( who was in service w/ us ) to go over to her and try to get her info , WOW...I probably would of never done that, considering the girl was with 8 of her friends...Well she does it and not only did she get her info, she also got to talk with one of her friends who wanted to go to the meeting ...This is the type of stuff that happens here ..SO Encouraging and Exciting !!!The day ended bittersweet we lost electric and water for 5.5 hrs Yep so couldn't shower b4 meeting, couldn't cook dinner, so we ate chips n salsa lol..half hr b4 meeting we got power back....Good news is Jeffrey was asked to give the # 3 talk and just finished most of it b4 we lost the Internet...He was thrilled to be part of the arrangement tonite he did a GREAT job!! Then after the meeting a group of us headed to the Empanada truck and ice cream we were ALLL hungry, got home @11:30 ..AS I AM WRITING THIS 12:11am the power goes out again , guess I'm not showering waited for Jeff to finish but waited to long ...Showers are overrated LOL, there's always tomorrow haha....Ps sorry not many pics didnt have any camera and u don't want to take the IPads in the areas we are preaching to risky..
