Wanted to check in and tell you all what fun we're having in service! Of course, we go door to door, make RVs and go on other people's studies (so far none of our own), but the most fun is just walking around the center jardin and saying "Hi" to people. Not buenas dias, but Hi. When they say Hi back it's so fun to ask them where they're from, how long they've been here, whatever they want to talk about. We always place some literature in the end and a meeting invitation!
Today, for example, the second we sat down at the jardin a young man approached us and asked if we knew someone who visits the congregation from Canada from time to time. Yes, we know them. This young man met this Canadian couple over a year ago and went to a bookstudy. Being gringos I guess he just took a chance to see if we knew the couple. We talked to him for 15 min., placed 2 mags and the Teach Book, got his name and phone number and found out when a good time to study would be!
Then we walked away from him and said Hi to a foreign looking lady who stopped and talked for another 10 or so minutes. She's Canadian. We somehow started talking about global climate changes which led to placing the Water Shortage AW.
Then we started to walk back to the car and met a man from Maryland who has lived in Mexico for 25 yrs. Very friendly. He took something, I can't remember what. All these people took their time to talk to us. They didn't have to run off to do something else in 30 seconds!
One other neat thing that happened today; I had gone with another sister a couple of weeks ago on a study with a lady who teaches English. The lady told me to stop by any time as she might have some English words that she might need help pronouncing. Mike and I did go there today. She was so happy to see us! She thinks her children might respond to Mike talking to them about the Truth (she is a widow) so she invited us to her house tomorrow night when she is having an open house for her English school. And she's making tamales too!
It was a wonderful day in service!
The Theocratic and miscellaneous adventures of Mike and Susan Ellis wherever they are!

Hasta la vista...if you ever get up here for a visit, but with all the fun you're having, don't know when that will be. Amor, Nancy & Craig
