The feild is white, but not with snow.

John 4:35 certainly applies here. When we go out to preach many take time to listen and if you leave them a publication to read and study they will prepare far past what you sugest. We have many calls and studys and this week as we are studing with one or two others passing by stop and jion in, then they wnat to show you where they live so that they to can have a study. Dennis was walking to help a brother monday afternoon and a group of men sitting in the shade called out to him to come and share with them something from the bible. They had seen him pass in service on sunday and now even though he was not even dressed for the ministry they knew him as a man of god. We always try to carry lititure and our bibles where ever we go, so he was able to share many scriptures with them and empted his bag of all his lititure 5 mags and 2 brochures. Today he and a brother from Liberia worked together and where following up on many rv's and studies that they started last week. As they were traveling a man in a shop called out to them, "Are you JW? I would like you to teach me about the bible". So the man took them to his home near by and they taught him many things. He had recieved an invetation to the Convention last year and went at the football stadium. He like what he heard and saw. He wants to learn about how the bible can change peoples lives.
Last Tuesday as Dennis and the young children were returning from walking along way in the feild they stopped to rest in the shade, a man near by came over and asked if they were JW, he had move here from England where he had run into the witnesses. Dennis left him with the magazines and returned on Friday for a nice one hour study in the shde of a big tree. On Friday Dennis and his partner walked over 10 miles in very hilly territory. That evening his legs ached, many freinds were visiting from the other congregation. Dennis was visiting with a CO form Liberia who was visiting SL. Just before Dennis was going to complain about his legs hurting the brother related how to visit one of the congregations in his circuit, he and his wife have to walk 22hrs one way it takes all of Monday and most of Tuesday, with the meeting that night. Plus they have to carry all the things they will need for the week on their head,then they walk all week in service and just about the time their legs stop acheing they have to walk back. Need less to say Denis did not complain about walking the day.
Shelby was able to start a study on Thursday. She is also commenting more in krio every meeting. Lorie, Shelby and Lorelle are attending a french bookstudy as they look to exspan their ministry. A young sister who has just finished secondary school is now tutoring the younger children four days a week, in addition to the time that Dennis and Lorie have each week to teach them. They are receiving the best education they can 2 Tim 3:16 and Isa. 2:3
