These girls encourage me greatly so I just wanted to share a bit about them with you all.
Narci is fairly new in the truth, she has been baptized for less than 2 years. Super zealous and always very encouraging. Marcela is 13, has been a new unbaptized publisher* for about three weeks. Her aunt, Elizabet, became a publisher at the same time. They qualified as publishers on a Sunday, and that Tuesday they were out preaching...and they were out every day for the rest of the week. Actually, they have been out almost every day since! Marcela is still in regular school, the other two are taking vocational classes. Since they are on vacation until mid February, they said they want to take advantage of their time to preach as much as possible. They also asked me about how they can arrange their schedules to preach in the afternoons and evenings when they get off school. Super zealous, and very eager to learn. Noemi just got approved last week. I had the privilege of working with her on her first day out. Even though she asked me to preach at the first door, she was not shy to do the next one. When a householder invited us in and I was able to start a Bible study, she was taking notes! Haha I told her, "No need take notes from me. I just follow the instructions the organization gives us!" And at the end, she asked me, "I'm doing good to start right?" I love working with them!
I have my first talk since I've been back on Thursday; the theme is "What are some outstanding Bible prophecies that have yet to be fulfilled?" It is with Marcela and she did such a great job on our first practice today. Very composed and has a good speaking voice. She will do so well! I'll let you know how it goes.
*Unbaptized publisher - a person who has fulfilled scriptural requirements to share in the preaching work as one of Jehovah's Witnesses*
Update on San Marcos new publishers. January we added 5. February 4. March at least one. That brings our publisher count to 100!
ReplyDeleteMexican branch sent out a letter at the beginning of the year that each publisher should have the goal of helping ONE of their students become an unbaptized publisher. So for San Marcos, 10 down, 80 to go :D
