"Let's just stop by"

So close to our house is a hotel/restaurant. We always pass through on the way to service & when we come home. We've come to know many of the waitresses & workers there just by passing through. There's been one who we bumped into in town one day & she helped us a lot. So today we were like let's stop by today, see if she is working & offer her a study. Well we stopped by, she was there & bought us some sodas & we sat & talked for awhile. Then the bartender came in to give the ticket & he walked into the room & his mouth dropped wide open. I was like mbona unashangaa? (Why are you surprised?) ️He said I heard you guys speaking Swahili but I was surprised to walk in & see Wazungu speaking. So we told him why we were here & he's like what if I want to learn the Bible but don't have time? So my friend with me asked him "Do you have 5 mins?" He said yes. So she got out the Habari Njema brochure & gave 2 other copies to the other two girls sitting there & we discussed the first lesson first paragraph. After we were done we invited them to the Kingdom Hall, and showed the video
"What happens at the Kingdom Hall?" We told them when they see us pass through & they have time they can always call out to us & we will take a few mins to study. It's always amazing the little "coincidences" that happen, proves that Jehovah & his angels are taking the lead in this preaching work. Helping us find the honest hearted ones who are thirsting for Bible knowledge. 


DAR-Zanzibar

Dar es Salaam is hot. I have appreciation for the Witnesses who live there & go door to door in that heat. You can sweat just by sitting. It's crazy. But the need is great there, so many people need to be preached to. We had the opportunity to go to Zanzibar! It was gorgeous! Unfortunately it ruined me for any other beach I've been to or seen. White sandy beaches, crystal clear turquoise blue water. I actually wasn't afraid to swim because I could see 😂 Then we stayed at an all inclusive & the staff was saying how we were different than any of the other Wazungu who normally stay there. We were kind & respectful & it really gave a good witness because we told them what we were doing, why we were here. It was nice. 




"Island Life"

Then back to Dar

Kariakoo : 



There are opportunities to preach everywhere
Reading the Truth tract 

It was encouraging being able to go to the Zone Visit. Being able to meet new faces & see old friends. 

How many people can fit into a Bajaj??

Then got to end a great trip with this cutie at the airport ❤️
