Quite better than Les Miserables

Well finally we are here again in San Cristobal, Yay! Both Lacey and I left to the US at the end of January and stayed through the end of Feburary. Lacey arrived here just one week before me and got a jump start on the incredible ministry here. I have been back for one week and already contacted and got on track almost all of my studies.
One in particular is a man that lives with his family in a house just right outside the back entrance of the property where we live. His name is Victor Hugo, no not the french poet and novelist. :) Several months ago I met him while he was outside playing with his kids. He speaks english well but doesnt have an opportunity to practice it very much. For months I had been thinking about this man and the spark of interest in the truth he showed but it was difficult to find him home and to be honest I should have tried harder to reach him. Well finally we made a plan to go visit him last Saturday. We went to his home about 6pm after service. He was at home with his wife and children. His wife is very nice but doesnt speak english, she speaks Tsetal and Spanish and their children only speak spanish. He invited us in and the whole family sat around as he told them we had something important to say. We promised to not outstay our welcome but I wanted to bring out some points from the Bible Teach book. We talked about questions many people have and I asked if he wanted to know anything in particular. He expressed interest in knowing how we can find the true religion. He said he was very disgusted at religion in general. He noticed the hypocrisy in most churches and didnt like how the pastors chose favorites based upon how much money you had. He noticed that many churches spend money on beautifying their buildings at the expense of the common people but dont really bring any hope to the people. We shared many scriptures. He was particularly impressed at Matthew 23:27 where Jesus rebuked the Pharisees because outwardly they resembled white washed graves but inside full of dead mens bones. He agreed that was how many religious leaders today were. He also told us how much he enjoyed reading the Watchtower and Awake and that he read them several times until we got new issues to him. He really enjoyed the article describing the sacrifices that many made to go to Haiti to help with relief work, this was very impressive to him. We ended up staying for 1.5 hours just talking and sharing scriptures right from the bible. We made a plan to go back tomorrow to discuss identifying marks of the true religion. It just really shows us how those who are searching easily can see the hypocrisy and with Jehovahs help can identify the light of truth.
Another one of my bible students, I spoke to you earlier about her name is Bertha. She owns a yarn shop. She has continued studying and continually expresses her love for God and appreciation for us coming to speak with her. She is really a delight to visit.
Lacey also has had some very good experiences. All in all already our time back here has been quite less than miserable. It has been great!
