Wow that is a great group out for service, really happy you are getting to have some real discussions. That is the important thing, not how many you talk to, but the quality of your work. We had a great day in our cong. too. Wes had a great experience on Saturday. He has been calling on a guy in town for years, really a good call, but he's very ill and housebound. He lives next to a guy who has massive rottweilers, a big chain link fence, flags all in the yard and big chopper (motorcycle) signs. Yes, it's a rough neighborhood. Anyway, you can't get to this guy because of his dogs and fence, and he's never so much as looked at us in the several years we have passed by his place, until yesterday. He stopped Wes, said he has been worried about his family, gave up the choppers because it brought a bad element into his home and set a bad example for his kids. They talked outside in the freezing cold for over an hour, placed a Bible teach book and can come back. Did I forget to mention this guy is huge, not fat, huge, about 7 feet tall and broad shoulders. You never know. Keep up the good work and keep sending us all your encouraging stories. It's great motivation for all of us, and send our love to all your new family (and our family) over there. Thank them for taking such good care of you. Especially the dog whisperer sister. We could use her here. Love you guys, julie
