Along the road....

Hello one and all,

Hope this post finds you happy and healthy. The girls are doing much better and back to their usualy selves, now the boys are getting a bit of a cough, so maybe it is their turn to have the cold that has gone around... no big deal. We found a good place to get cold med and we also brought some with us.

Yesterday, Shelby and I went in the afternoon to conduct studies, none of them were home though since the people they work for had traveled and they were therefore not at work.... heading home two men called out, "you Jehovah Witnesses?" we said yes and they said that they had been given something by a tall man in a hat :) oh wonder who that was...... long story short they loved what they read had many questions and want to study, we placed the Require brochure with them and set up to go back next thursday afternoon. (Dennis, for your info they are the ones along babadory road at the food stop, they said to meet them at their mothers behind the shop)

This morning walking we had a man approach Shelby and I and ask if we were from Mercy Ship, we said no Jehovah Witnesses. He said he wanted to go to meetings and he wanted to learn more, we gave him the invitation to convention and showed him the coupon for the bible teach book, he said he will come and get a book now that he knows where the meetings are, he had seen the kh torn down and didn't know where to go.

Last Sunday friends from Cockerel North told us an experience, they were in sunday afternoon service the week before and two men came running up to two sisters as they were entering a gated compound in the ministry work, they called out "we want to join you!" The sisters stopped and said "what are you talking about, we are not living here, we are preaching". The men said "we know you are Jehovah Witnesses, is this where the meetings are?"...... they had spent over an hour going up and down roads looking for the private home that was holding the meetings. It was now after 2:30 and the sisters told them where to go, to join our Cockerel South meeting from 1:00 to 3:00, they ran saying thankyou thankyou. (Dennis, these are the two men that arrived late and asked for you and Lorelle after the meeting, they had tried so hard to find the meeting place, they have since continued to study and come to more meetings)

Weds. was a holiday here for muslims so most shops were closed. The Joseph family invited us to join them at Beach River No. 2, we had a wonderful day, the ocean water was so nice, waves perfect and the white, white beach sand. The river current was not strong that day and I took the little ones to the river inlet to swim, it was as calm as a swimming pool, they enjoyed running and jumping off the washed out embankments into the deeper water. (Dennis don't worry they say we can all go again when you return :)

So long to all, will try to post next week, but may not be able since it is xmas week, so if you don't read from us for two weeks don't worry, we are still thinking of you!

Love, Swift Crew
