Bonne Predi!

This morning was a great morning in predi! One of the brothers decided to count all the new visits we got for just the morning. There were about 11 of us working together in an area that Ashley and I have not been in yet. It's basically a road to the left of the border crossing that you can take all the way to the ocean. So we set off. And, I will add as a side point, it was especially hot today!!
We had some really nice experiences along the way. At one house we spoke to a man who wanted to know what Jehovah's names means and why we use it. Jonas was able to explain to him using the bible and also the bv book. The man readily agreed with all that Jonas said. He kept repeating how it made sense to him. So after the visit we walked a ways down the road and stopped to make some notes. Well, the man has walked over to another group of about 4 young men and started to talk to them. Soon he started calling us back over to the group. He asked Jonas to please explain to the 4 other guys what he had just explained to him. So, of course, Jonas did. And the whole time the original guy was nodding his head and smiling like " yeah, see? this is totally true!" It was pretty great. Then later, after we had finished for the morning, we walked back by the same house. The man was with another group of men, holding the book open, and talking to them about the book. (we assume:) Not something you see every morning in predi, right?  He was already teaching others!
So you want to know the total for new visits? Well by 11:30 we had around 22!!! I think there may have been a few more, but we all had sort of dispersed by then, off to do studies!

Traffic Jam on the bridge! If you look closely you can see
that some brothers and sisters are stuck in the middle.
It was just after the market day and there was rush to get back over.
This was the end of the road that we worked at today. The little girl in the boat had followed me all the way to the end. Then she just jumped in for a swim!
