We meet for field service this morning at 9am. The circuit overseer took the group with 33 in attendance. Today the focus was on the business territory around the Oaxaca City Zocalo (City Centre). I had the privilege of working along with the CO working business to business. The main focus is to find english speaking people, we came across a Mexican man about 20 years of age working in a Cantina, a bar that just sells spirits eg.. taquila, mezcal and more. He accepted two brochures and we left it at that but made sure we got his name and work address so he could be called on again.

… wide range of Mexican dishes to choose from …

We stoppd for lunch at a nice little restaurant with an inner courtyard bathed in tranquil green light from the abundant growth of tropical plants. The restaurant is owned by brothers, and the food was really good with a wide range of Mexican dishes to choose from. I continued on with Brother Dean, one of the local elders in the congregation of Oaxaca. We toured the city on return visits with two of the local sisters in the english congregation.

… saying “good news” phone home to find out …

An SMS had appeared on my phone a day or so ago saying “good news” phone home to find out what it is. Today was the my first opportunity to get down to the internet shop (La Tienda) to make a call. I was hesitant at first… I wasn’t wanting to get my hope up as to what the news might be, but i did have in the back of my mind that it might be about MTS. Happy I was to find out (and kind of relieved in a way) to find out that my application has been accepted to attend MTS!! I floated back to forrests house and told Ashley the “good news” first. WOW!!… I still can’t fathom it yet myself.

The congrgation book study was combined at the hall for the CO’s visit. Afterward he gave a FANTASTIC talk on dealing with, resisting and identifity sin. Also developing a love for righteousness so that sin becomes less of an appeal for us.
