Service With the Memorial Invitation

Nates parents arrived a couple day's before the invitation work began, this was their first day out with us. They were very very excited to go out:) Since the invitation work started, we have found many many more English speaking ones. When we were out to lunch one day, we gave our waiter an invitation because he spoke pretty good English. He used to live in Puerto Morelos near the Kingdom Hall. He said, "I will be there!" That is the reaction we have gotten from alot of people, so we will see! This will be the congregations first Memorial, so we are very excited to see how many will come.
Many new return visits have been started with the invitation. Nate found a man named Jesus who was very willing to talk and eager to come to the meeting's and Memorial.

Bill, happy as can be:)

Riding in the Williams old huge Suburban, they have driven it down here from Kansas three times now. Its a great car to have for service:)

Getting smoothies on a break in service. It's one of our new favorite spot's, and the owner speaks English so we call on him now:) Very refreshing!


She's gotta have her coffee:)




This is a brand new neighborhood that is being built, so far there are about six streets finished, but ALOT of the homes are not lived in yet. We worked it for the very first time with the invitation, and found about 12 English speaking, most of whom are now return visits. This neighborhood is exactly like the one we live in, and we expect it to be very large, 100's and 100's of homes. So, surely many more English will be moving in. 



This in an area where there are no street names or numbers, so we have no way of keeping track of NH's. So we just work it every couple weeks, for the most part we can remember which ones were Spanish or NH. But it is mostly Spanish speaking, have found a few who speak English.



We recently found out our neighbor Betty speaks English, we had no idea! She took an invite and said she needed a change in her life, so we really hope to be able to get something started with her. She leaves for work at 7:30am and doesnt get home till 8pm, so might be a little tricky.
Today we worked some NH's on the street we live on. We couldn't believe it, but we found 7 more English speaking, 2 of which used to be not interested and are now good call's! That doesn't include the 7 that we already knew about and are already call's/studies! So that's a total of 14 give or take because I may be forgetting some, on just our street!!!!  Very exciting!!
