One nice experience that I want to share although it is not mine but was told by a brother where we stayed in Guayaquil on the trip back to Ecuador . His name is Luis and he told us that he was preaching and a householder said “it bothers me that you people think you have the only right religion.

 

Can you prove to me that yours is the right one?” Luis answered by asking “I’m new here, do you know any Jehovah’s Witnesses that live in this neighborhood?” He answered, “yes one lives up the hill there and another down the hill here.” Luis said, “lets go see them.” And they did.

 

When they arrived to the first house, Luis knocked on the door, a brother he didn’t know answered. Luis said, “Hi brother, I’m one of Jehovah’s Witnesses preaching in your neighborhood.” Immediately, the brother warmly invited them into the house. They visited for a few minutes and left. Then they went to the next one and the exact same thing occurred. Luis then asked the incredulous man, “do you know any Catholics around here?” “Yes, we are all Catholics.” he said. Luis said, “okay let’s try the same thing and go to the house of a Catholic you don’t know.

 

They did and not surprising they didn’t get the same reception. They knocked at a door and a man answered. The householder said “hi, I’m your neighbor and I’m Catholic.” The man replied “so?” The householder immediately saw the difference, accepted a bible study and became our brother.
