Darwin, Luis and Luis David (the 15 year old rush)
By Anton | July 26, 2009
So these boys are my new project!
All three boys are in the deaf school and do very well. I contacted Luis (middle) first about 8 months ago and he has gone from being a lifeless lump to looking forward to his study every week. Little by little he has been opening up and asking more and more probing questions. I think it is amazing the way we were created to have an intense curiosity for our Creator and it really shows in Luis. For being a boy that doesn’t know much about communication, he has some pretty interesting questions every week.
Darwin (first on the left) was contacted about 4 months ago. Friend of a friend of a friend said they talked with him and that he wanted to study the Bible. He is the popular kid at school so he likes to talk a lot… though sometimes about nonsense. We have worked with him a lot and now he doesn’t go off on his tangents nearly as much as he used to. His study is going quite well.
Luis David (right) isn’t actually my student, he is the student of another sister in our congregation but he has really latched on to the other boys.
A few weeks ago while we were cleaning out the house, we found a big bag of ties and a dress shirt that was too small for me. I gave the dress shirt to Luis and 2 ties each to the boys. I also gave 2 ties to another student of mine who isn’t in the picture (I will have to write about him(Alex) another time). It was so exciting to see all of the boys at the meeting in their dress shirts, slacks, shoes and ties. And they all commented at least once at the Watchtower study (I think Darwin commented 5 times though 2 were a little off lol).
We are really hoping to get them to the District Convention this year in the Capital. Darwin’s and Luis’ parents already said yes but they said that they are a little tight economically with the new school year approaching but they would do their best to contribute to the hotel and food. With our uncertain job situation, we aren’t quite sure how it will work out but we are continuing to pray for their fine progress.
