You just never know

This is one of the the most exciting experiences we had...When we were leaving Guam, one of our students met us at the airport. We took a photo of their family to take to their family in Pohnpei. The wife's grandmother studies with Masehda (You'll see photos in another post.), but the husband's mother has a history of being very opposed. In fact, their home is three doors down from the Kingdom Hall, but she would not allow her daughter-in-law to attend any meeting when she lived in Pohnpei. Well, when we took their photo, the husband said to take a copy to his mother. His wife's eyes about popped out of her head.

We took the photo the first time we went in service, but no one had time to visit. During the next few weeks, we prayed about this situation and had discussions with a few sisters trying to figure out what would be a good way to go about any future visits.

Helen and I were out together a few days before we left. I told Ella that I had a gift for her, a Paipel Padahngki book. She smiled, but said she couldn't read it because her eyes are bad. The three of us had a very nice conversation about how, if we think and feel like God, it will affect how we treat each other. She said it would be okay to return with a larger print of the book.

Helen and I returned with a print out of the first chapter of the book off  of jw.org. Here are photos of her first study. She told Helen that she needs to learn about God and asked what his name is. She said that as a Catholic, she doesn't know anything about the Bible and is looking forward to learning. When we showed these photos to her daughter-in-law here in Guam, she teared up and thanked Jehovah.
