A Day Off, Sort Of

Monday morning we went out with the group as usual.  I went out with a sister named Brenda, and we worked not-at-homes on two different roads.  Working with different people in service has been really nice to get to know every ones story.  Sometimes, though, after you run through your standard list there can be some long breaks in conversation.  This morning I didn't encounter that problem, she talked non-stop the whole time, but that's fine with me.  To finish up our time for the morning we did a little street work on the High Road.  We only have one key to the house, which Eric carries, so I went back to the hall to wait for him.  This is usually a solid plan, for all the paths back to home go right past the hall.  This one morning he of course was working the road that we live on, so my wait was in vain.  Neither of us had service plans for the afternoon, so we stayed home for lunch(there is always leftover curry in this house).  We got our daily tennis match in early today, and went home to rest.  I'm afraid this isn't the most enthralling entry, we just decided to chill watching TV for the evening.  Not to worry though, the next day we were back, nose to the grindstone. (I got to work with a sister named Naomi. I have worked with her before and so i think we had more things to talk about. She is a nurse so we got to swap interesting stories. One of the last doors we took we had a good discussion. A young woman came to the door and once she noticed we were Jehovah's Witnesses she invited us in. Her mother seemed to object to this but we came in anyway. We had about a 30 minute discussion about several Bible teachings. Since they were both Catholic a big topic was did Jesus have any brothers or sisters. I'm not quite sure why its so important but oh well. Another topic was about the condition of the dead. I have done research on those subjects and I have made plans to return Saturday at 12 with another sister since Naomi is at a Convention. The daughter seemed very interested in learning what the Bible says so i hope the seeds we share will sprout. -Eric)
