Spanish...English...spanish....

it's Been awhile, but lots going on, and while things here are somewhat not as exciting as Mexico on the surface, there is still activity to report on.
we had a nice vacation down to Myrtle beach, about 10 days, and tho the weather
was a factor  And a balky back, we enjoyed the beach and some fresh seafood, etc.
we visited with an old friend of mine Tom Bowen, and met his wife Lorraine who allowed us to stay with them on the way to SC. so Tom & I got a chance to catch up with 41 years of history and experiences, and raising families etc. Wonderful time & maybe looking forward to staying in touch more in future. Tom & Lorraine live in NC near Raleigh. we left the Bowen's Sunday AM and headed to Myrtle Beach. had a rom on the beachfront, and spent 5 days there before heading back to St. Louis vis Tenn. Stoped to visit with the Whipps and really enjoyed our time with them. Angela has 2 great kids who we love, and get a kick out of visiting with.
  when we got home it was full speed ahead on FS til the end of month. then heard from our friends in Dolores Hidalgo, that helped arrange for my study, Miguel & family to attend their 1st district convention. there was a assist from some friends in Spanish cong. And the english, to house them , transport them, and take care of them during the convention. Jehovah' s people extend themselves and will help whenever and with whatever resources they have to help people hear and respond to the good news. I'm hoping to hear a report on how it went, and how they enjoyed the convention.
I've had some good experiences here with finding Spanish speaking in our territory. Today we were in FS, and we piled into a driveway to the rear of a home, where a man and his wife were throwing a frisbee in the back yard, 3 little girls about maybe 4, 6 and 9, a Mexican man who spoke a little English and I had a nice conversation, as I had a Spanish BT bk, and used the Listen to God brochure, and went over pictures. sked him if he had "La Biblia" in Spanish, and he said no, so I asked if he would like 1, he said yes, so I arranged to bring him back 1, on a Sunday since that is his only day off. So had a nice day, in spanish & English. 
Here in Missouri there are lots of deer, everywhere......

Its kind of like FS, you are looking where you think the best odds are of finding Jehovah's "DEER", but as long as your out sometimes He brings them to us, right in front of us. Like these deer along the highway across from our territory. Right out in the open. So whether we are 'looking" here or there, in Mexico, or Pacific, Mo. the angels will see to it we find his sheep, we just have to keep looking, right?
Even tho we didn't get to spend as much time as we planned, I learned from some really good servants of Jehovah there, to "look" for his sheep everywhere. On the way to the market, the Dr's office, paying water bill. getting auto repaired, and isn't it interesting how when we use every occasion to PGN, in a relaxed circumstance, we just may reach 1 of those sheep. 
Love to all,
Tom & Elaine
