in the airport

So it's 11:11 pm, me and Forrest are waiting in the airport, our trip has finally come! I'm too tired for a lot of enthusiasm right now. We spent the day in Lima. It was nice not to wait in the airport all day- we spent the day with a mother and daughter who were visiting Peru from California, and their friend who lives in Lima, serving in Chinese. We went to a nice mall and had lunch, and looked at some Peruvian crafty stuff for sale. I got a pencil case for all my studying supplies, various colors of highlighters and pens.

We have spent quite a while in the airport too. I brought all kinds of things to study and read, but all I've worked on is my new Bible Teach book. Finally! In service if the householder took the book to read a paragraph some pages would always fall out of the book I've used since moving here. Plus the pages are brown like ancient manuscripts.

Why are airports so cold at night?

We had a neat experience just the other day in service. The sister I was working with was talking to a man at the door. As she was, an older man was walking by on the sidewalk and slowed down curiously to look as he walked by. Further down the sidewalk he stopped and watched. Then he cautiously came back and asked the sister, "Excuse me, but is it ok if I listen too?" She said of course. Since she was still focusing on the man at the door I showed him in the Bible the scriptures she was reading, and the conversation continued with him even after the conversation at the door ended. We were reading and discussing the paragraphs of the Bible Teach book about what the requirements are for God to listen to our prayers. He said, "Where can I buy this book? It explains everything so clearly. I'm recently converted but I still have a lot to learn." Thankfully I had a placeable book that I was planning on placing with a return visit afterwards, because he was just in from a little town 6 hours away from Cajamarca. I hope Jehovah helps people like him who live really far from any congregations to learn the truth.

Time to see how delayed our flight is and then sleep!
