Well yesterday we both came home from service with a light heart cause everything had gone well. With me making an arrangement to call back on a man with a bible for him. Then the meeting was good cause we had done the correct amount of preparation and we were able to understand nearly all of it. Even the CO´s talk (which he is easy to listen to because he speaks slow and my mind needs slow). So we thought - hey we are getting this - it´s all good.
Then this morning everything went to pieces with me placing mags with a lady in a shop and then saying I would return sometime. She was happy with that and I came away feeling pretty good. Then my partner told me I had said to her that she talks too much! Maybe she won´t want to see me again afterall!
I went to see the man from yesterday and totally blew it but he took the bible happily. I got on the bus for home feeling a little low. There were heaps of people on the bus so I had to stand for awhile. I looked around and a grubby old man was patting the seat beside him - beckoning me to come and sit. Thankfully another seat opened up right then so I took that one. By now everyone was staring at me including the lady in the next seat so I thought I might as well give them more to talk about me and pulled out a mag for her. We got into quite a conversation so once again I was happy. When I got off the bus, low and behold so did the grubby old man and he was still eying me up so I gave him a mag too (that´ll teach him). So on the way home,feeling ok with myself - one of my neighbours came along - she asked me if I had been to church so I told her no and pulled out another mag. She wanted to talk some more but of course - I folded! What am I to do - it is so frustrating!

oh dear- but it can only get better....hopefully
message from mum - one day you will start thinking in spanish so all will be right.
On the bright side at least your mags placements are going up!
Keep on trucking and smiling - just watch out for grubby old men!
Hang in there it can only get better. There are grubby old men everywhere and also people who want to learn about Jehovah. I love checking your blog so keep up the good work x x x
I've been SLACK, but now Im BACK!!
Beth you think you have language problems!
My simple understanding of maori is no better. A woman at the park asked me where the wharepaku is? Der I thought she meant a place somewhere in tauranga, all she wanted was the women toilets of course she eventually had to ask me in english. Make it worst I asked terry does he know what the wharepaku us, he answered the toilet. So don't me disappointed my sister, you are doing great things just by being there acts 5:41. Jehovah blessings are rich provs 10:22 im sure you will be blessed with a student who speaks english and spanish.
Loved the video hey Beth you are looking good from behind, must be all that walking aye?
It was gr8 to hear Mark's voice!
