Service updates!!

Service has been an amazing experience these past weeks! Still can't get use to the fact that people have such a hunger for the truth and you actually have the problem of organizing your return visits and finding times to visit them all!
So last week was especially interesting. We were out in service in Sabana Grande, there's a dairy place where I love to get cheese from, it's organic and because the manager likes wittnesses he sells it to us for half the price of the stores. When we went there the first time, I noticed a pile of magazines and brochures. He tells us that there is a brother in his town that has been visiting him and his family. So me and a sister went there and I noticed that the manager was not there, there was a lady in the office so I assumed I would not be getting my cheese today, but we figured, at least we can share the truth with her, then she proceeds to tell me, "don't worry the same deal he gives you I will give to you also." Then I noticed she kept looking at us with this big smile on her face, then she finally asks, "are you guys Jehovah's Witnesses?" We immediately say yes! Then she says, "Good! My boss told me, that there were a couple of witnesses that come once in a while to get cheese, so I've been waiting for you, I want a Bible Study from you! My parents and I want the study!" Then she proceeds to explain that her brother became a witnesses
(So this is us, the sister and me that went to the cheese dairy farm, with the beautiful cows in the background that provided us with the delicious cheese!!)
and has talked to her about the truth, but she knows that she needs her own study. So she gave us all her information and we made arrangements to visit her in her home! So we got some cheese and an amazing study.

After we left there I met up with Justin, he had an amazing experience that had happened to him also!!
It turns out that after they finished a call, this lady from a house further down called them and said, "please come to my house!" So they followed her and she invites them into her home and she proceeds to tell them, "my daughter really wants to study with you guys, please can you come and study with her"! Then she walks in and brings out this big bag of our literature all well kept and in a neat order. Then she says, "look, all these are the books and magazines that my daughter has read! So can you come and study with her??" So of course they write all her information down and make arrangements so we can visit her on Saturday! That just made our day! We were hot, sweating and exhausted and then we find these humble and people hungry for the truth! We were so grateful to Jehovah that we were out in service that day and he can use us to find his sheeplike  ones. 
There are so many other experiences we've had here, but I will post more of them in another day!!
Just a couple more updates I wanted to share. Justin has a couple of studies he just started . One of them we found preaching informally at a clinic. This young man was just sitting outside waiting for his turn to go in to see the Doctor. I approached him and showed him "The Truth" tract, he wanted to know the answer to the question of suffering. We made arrangements to go to his home. He gave us his address and we went on a Friday. He was waiting for us!! He had his Bible and was ready to get started. He immediately accepted the study, now on Fridays when Justin goes he has his "Teach..." Book ready and chairs out for them when they arrive. 
For us studies like these are incredible for us, especially coming from the states. We were not use to seeing often people respond so quick to the truth and take it this seriously, especially youg people. We are so excited to continue searching for those humble ones that Jehovah wants among his people!!
