This includes approaching people on the street and in businesses. Here is where we can play the "foreigner card" and just ask if someone there speaks English. I'm working at turning my disadvantage into an advantage and want to try this by myself in the businesses. This is miles out of my comfort zone but Jehovah blesses effort.
Usually I am with someone who speaks Spanish. The dear friends have been such good baby sitters for us. Today I did my first call by myself in 3 months. I'll tell you about that later.
Today two sisters and myself went to call back on some English calls the friends found in search work. I had four to do. One was a young man who they found doing some work in the neighbourhood. They had the address where they found him but he didn't live there. We did a few calls in the area and Vanessa stops the car and says "hi so and so". Over she pulls the car and its the fellow I was looking for a few streets over. We had a nice chat with him. He speaks bits and pieces of about 5 languages. Nice fellow who is into Buddism. He wanted to know how we can trust the bible. He had great questions. Mediation is something he does. We tried to help him to appreciate that the bible helps you to put positive things into your mind to meditate on. If you don't know the answer swishing around what's already there isn't going to help you much. He was hesitant to give us his address but I gave him our email. We told him that it was no accident that we found him today. I had the calls and the sister knew what he looked like. Made the sisters feel good also. Hopefully we will hear from him.
Here are a some plants. I was trying to take a photo of the double amaryllis.  A brother warned me there was a dog. I saw one at the back of the garage in where the plants were. When I walked away then the one who was chained at the front of the garage room lunged out. Oh that dog!








These are the dancing fountains. Guess they have lights and music the night before. l to r Stephanie, Tawanda, Julio. We were doing approach work in the principal park. Steph is always looking out for me. What a dear! She and Julio walked me to my door. Dear Steph had worn heals that day. She looked great but put her feet under out shower faucet when she got to my place.




Here if you get a fruit drink you have the option of having it in styrofoam cup or a bag. The bag is a bit cheaper and easier to dispose of.




This is a penata shop. Not something you'd see too often in Canada. Guess its not something we would ever use.





Lots of love
