We got a very pleasant surprise out in service the other day when we happened across Kilmore Moses. After meeting him we thought, 'Now THIS is why we're out here!' He is an Amerindian boy who had always seen us coming around, but for 3 years when ever Witnesses would call there, he would send his younger brother or sister out to meet us at the gate. But mean while he had been learning about us online and from our magazines, he had recently just read the Sept WT that explains who we are. He had absorbed much of what he learned online because when I asked him what he believed God's kingdom was, he proceeded to tell us that it was God's government that was going to destroy other governments and take all the problems away from the earth transforming it into paradise. Then he went on to tell us that he'd actually already been planning BECOMING a Witness as soon as he finished with school. Before we left he told us he'd like to ask one question. He asked what the difference is between Jehovah and Jesus. After we explained, he said that his church has a prayer directed to worshiping Jesus and was curious to learn more. He didn't know if he was comfortable with that or not. After this exciting call, me and my service partner went straight to a brother to hand over the call and pleaded with him to go back right away and set up a time for a study worried that he might go back into hiding like he had for the past 3 years. So he did. Kilmore began studying right away doing a great job displaying the same curious and lovely attitude on his studies and has already attended his first meetings, even bringing his little sister and brother along! :D We're excited and hopeful for Kilmore!
Nice experience!
