We've been having some good experiences in service. Forrest has 4 very good studies with men, which is hard to come by here where they're always gone working. For one of the men, he has to work around his schedule and put an appointment in his agenda for when he'll be back in town. Because there is a giant gold mine near here, most of the men who work there stay at the mine 20 days then come back and rest for 10. Or they have similar schedules consisting of living there for a while and then coming back to see their families for a short time.
I'm also really excited about some of my studies. One day while working house-to-house, I met a 17 year-old named Rozita. I had two excellent return visits with her, in which I gave her a Bible teach book and started to show her how to prepare. Then I found out she was just about to move to Lima to work. I saw her the week she was leaving and said goodbye. Last week though, a brother told me that he met Rozita's brother and he told him that Rozita didn't move to Lima after all, but they had moved house, and she hoped I would come back. I asked the brother to take me to her house, because she lives where there are no street names or addresses yet. I found her, we're set to continue the study starting tomorrow, and she wanted to know how she could come to meetings. Like so many young people here, she has really sad eyes, and scars of cutting her wrists. People here all hurt so bad, sometimes I don't think I can take it. But this is a happy story, because she's now in the position where she may get the help she needs.
