It must be really rewarding to be...

It must be really rewarding to be able to help fix up the kingdom hall to improve it's image in the community. Maybe someday we'll be able to do the same here!
We've been having some really good experiences lately also- one from the tract campaign is a lady that Steven Woodfin turned over to me- he had placed the tract, when we went back the next time, we gave her a Teach book and she agreed to study. When I went back, though, she had decided not to study because she saw that the book said that she wasn't going to heaven when she died...we talked about it a little, and when I left she didn't tell me not to go back, so I did, of course! Two visits later she's much nicer and open, and her 11-year-old daughter is there also. The daughter answered all of the questions about the Bible before the mom could even think about it, and showed me her children's Bible. She opened it to the section on Revelation, and said "I understand everything else, but I don't understand this." It just struck me as amazing that she had read the whole thing, and thought about it long enough to want to understand the part that she couldn't understand. I told her that even though it looked scary (mostly there were pictures)- that Revelation is really a happy book about the future. So I'm coming back with a Great Teacher book for her tomorrow.
We also go the french-speaking refugee family that we call on at home, and they had a friend visiting- I wish you could have seen his face when he read about God's Kingdom ruling in righteousness forever- it's like their faces were beaming. Hopefully when he goes back to Indianapolis we can find someone to call on him, also.
THanks for the update :) Hope all goes well with getting the residency permit...
