Mega Tuesday

Tuesday the 8th was another service day, and nothing else.  We started with the group, I went with a brother named Ivan and we did the odd numbered floors on block of flats (group of apartments).  This only took an hour or so, and we tried a few return visits and called it a morning.  Right as we quit I got my first taste of London rain.  It came fast and the wind whipped from seemingly every direction.  But in a few minutes if calmed down to a drizzle.  I camped out under the small awning over the door and the KH, but after 20 minutes and no Eric, I guessed that he had made plans for the afternoon, so I went home.  (In the morning i worked with a sister named Anna. A very nice sister who i believe is a pioneer. Then I met Estera at 12 at Morrisons. I can't remember if we explained what Morrisons is but basically its a market with a cafe attached. Its a very common meeting place for witnesses to eat and meet up with their next partners. We did some territory then just some calls. -Eric) After a quick lunch I went down to Acton Park to do street work.  In this case it was just wandering around looking for people that weren't in a rush, and there were a few that were very nice and thankful for the tracts/brochures. A few laps around the park, and I walked towards town for more street work, but again the sky decided to drop it's contents.  This was no drizzle, it poured for 10 minutes.  I had plans with Estera for the evening, and I met her around 4.  (I then did some street work and walked through Acton Park. I also walked through the city trying to speak to people as best i could. After that i walked down to Chiswick High Road. I got a SIM card for my phone and had a little trouble working it out. Oh and by the way, sorry to you all that i am supposed to be emailing (you know who you are) but we have just been busy and I have not had any data service for my phone. Oh well at least you have the blog right? -Eric) We did return visits all over town (yes I can say we, I have 2 of them), and then took the bus to some territory.  The buildings were more intercoms (joy!(sarcasm)), but one of them unlocked the front door. It turned out to be a young man, and she showed him the book.  He picked the chapter about "Who was Jesus?" and off we went 30 minutes and half a chapter later we were walking out the door.  She was shocked and overjoyed that it worked out so well on the initial call, just the way it works on the platform!  We decided to do a few more calls, and the last one was an agnostic young man, studying theology.  There were many good points exchanged and he is really searching through everything, but just couldn't be swayed into searching with the help of a Bible study.  That little discussion lasted 45 minutes, and it was suddenly 8 pm and the conclusion to another long day in the ministry.  That evening we got our second round of tennis in, slightly better, but still just shy of Wimbledon caliber.
