In October, right before we went back home we found a girl named Karen who spoke English and said she wanted a Bible study. She was from Mexico City and already had a Bible Teach book in Spanish. We gave her to our friend Sue to go to until we came back. Sue was only able to find her one time. Since we've been back this time we have tried everyday and every time of the day to find her, but had not been successful.
On Wednesday it was only Nate, Claudia and I out, so we decided to try the main bus stop in town. A lot of tourists use the bus, plus many locals, a lot of people in and out all the time. Claudia talked to a couple at the bus stop from Michigan but they were not interested. I decided to talk to the lady at the ticket booth, she looked very familiar to me and I was sure that I had met her before. I asked her if she spoke English, and she said she did. I asked her what her name was and she said "Karen"!!! I said, "I know you! I have been trying to find you." I then reminded her of Nate and I and who we were. She said she got the note and tract we left in the door, in fact she had the tract with her at work. She is still interested in studying, but she works constantly so pinning her down is going to be tough. At least now I know where she works, so I can visit her there.
Also that same day, after trying over and over again, Nate found Esaul home. A man he had talked to walking down the street, he said he has always wanted to know the answers to the questions on the Truth tract. He invited us in, and told us that he is Catholic, but pretty much only because his parents wanted him to be. Since he was a little boy he has wondered if there is one true path, one truth, and what that is. Nate got him started in the Bible Teach book and it was amazing. We are very excited about him, but again like everybody else he works all the time and his schedule changes every week, so getting them to commit to a day and time is difficult. Thought this was worth sharing, more good experiences sure to come!
