The San Pedro english and creol congregations meet each morning at 9am for field ministry. This morning there were 10 brothers and sisters out. We had the priviledge of meeting a lovely older brother who is respectfully called the father of the Creol congregation- Bronwyn said that he reminded her of Uncle Albert, and it was the highlight of her day to meet him. A few of the brothers and sisters are still new in the truth, either being baptised in the past couple of years or looking forward to being baptised in the near future…Their love for Jehovah is wonderful.

Nikita was working with a newly baptised Creole sister and enjoyed ministry along the beach, working from pier to pier, talking to all the fishermen….As they moved along the piers the sister highlighted all the good swimming spots and I think they are planning to go fishing soon. Jess engaged in business territory (a mix-match of small shops, businesses and resorts), along with street work on the beach, finishing with drinking coconut water directly from a coconut, from a hawker on the beach!

Last Friday as we were strolling along the beach we were approached by a hawker selling shell necklaces. We spoke for a while and he introduced himself as Elton. Today as Dad was working with a young creole brother along the beach along comes Elton once again on his bike. The young creole brother was surprised when dad greeted Elton by name, wondering how we could possibly know him……but from that a long witness started. Asking which question appeals to him on the back of the good news brochure, Elton picked out “Why does God allow suffering”. He was insistent that he wanted to know the answer before he headed off on his way….Hopefully we will bump into him again in the next few days….
