What a day it was yesterday – we came home from witnessing so happy!
First of all we were with our perspective partners as usual – I had just finished saying to my partner that how could I practice when no one was home when out comes a lady from the house we were at. She came right to the gate which is fairly unusual here I have to say. Well I launched into my presentation – showed her a couple of scriptures and placed the book with her. Then said I would like to come back next week to go through the first chapter with her. She agreed and my first study was started (lets hope she's there eh). My partner started one at the next house so it's all on for next week. Mark had similar success – they actually had their first study with a guy in Marks personal book as he didn't have one to place. On the way home we decided to be brave and do a couple of calls – by ourselves. Well in one – I demonstrated how we study the book (Mark had placed the book with her on Sunday) and she wants us to go back on Saturday to study with both her and her husband! Don't get me wrong – we are not great at the language still but the cool thing is we got across what we needed to and also understood what they were saying to us. Finally we may be of some use around here! We can see that life is going to get very busy for us – all the stories about going out one day and starting study after study are true!

"Taste and see Jehovah is good aye?
Wow your perservance is paying off.
excited and encouraged by you both.
Briefly we were at wendy's friday night having dinner, met a brother his name Brian from nz now living in australia.
His friends (a married couple) in Aussie are looking to come to Equador early next year. At present they are going through the process as you did. If it's okay We are going to give Brian your website details so he can also pass it on to his friends.
You both were already of some use when you first arrived there in Equador!
Finally the spanish late timing has nothing on MAORI TIME!!
Imagine both cultures living together?

well done - you will be old pros in no time - or just old! Just kidding!Hope that the return visits go well.
love from us
Hi Scottys - We have been in contact with a couple from Brisbane and I bet it is the same ones. They picked up our blog site and have since emailed us. By all means give the site out though! You never know could be others wanting to come here!
PS - I think that Maori time is better than South American time - honestly they have no idea of time here!
