Tuesday:
I had a dear friend stay with me Monday, so the next morning she joined us in our activites through out the day. She recently returned from a trip to Mexico City and I thoroughly enjoyed the experiences she shared. She also showed us pictures of Bethel and the brothers she met in her trip. Well, my mom, brother and I, alon with Bradleigh went across to the States that day. We dressed informally but made sure to carry tracts with us and old magazines. From the moment we left our home we started to ask passersby if they spoke English. One man did speak Enlglish and we briefly spoke with him. As we neared Tijuana we stopped at a Pemex for gas and again took this as an opportunity to preach. At stoplights we'd ask the vendors if they spoke English and once we reached the border we continued doing so. We each spoke to somebody and placed literature. After crossing the border we stopped at McD's! It was a brief stop. We headed to the Library and also kept being discreet in our preaching. We checked out some books and left some English mags next to some Spanish ones. Each of us were hooked on our new books but our tummies soon reminded us of our physical need for alimentation! We were hungry and stopped at Trader Joes. I love TJ's!! :P I got a salad and the other 3 got some wraps. I had a bite of each, and they were yummy! We stopped preaching around that time...and continued on our errands that day. I thought it was a succesful day. We each practiced on developing the new methods of service, and I enjoyed it. It went well!

Pictures of Spiritual Activites..
I THOUGHT THIS WAS A BIT COMICAL BUT ALSO SAD...THE DOG HAD A TIRE AROUND HIS NECK SO HE WOULDNT SNEAK OUT THROUGH THE FENCE. THIS WAS ABOUT ONE WEEK AGO...MAYBE MORE.
WITH ZIV ON ONE OF HIS RETURN VISITS. HE WAS PLAYING LOUD OLDIES...HAD TO CONTAIN MYSELF! :D ZIV DID A GOOD JOB, I MUST SAY. HE WAS ABLE TO OVERCOME A POSSIBLE CONVO STOPPER. 
THATS ME ON OUR STREET WALKING BACK HOME. I LIKED SEEING THE HORSE. MADE ME HAPPY.
THIS WAS ON THURSDAY, A DAY WHERE I JOINED ANOTHER CONGREGATION IN SERVICE. I WENT OUT INTO BLVD 2000, WHICH IS ABOUT 25 MINUTES INLAND. ONCE THERE YOU CAN SEE THEIR TERRITORY, PLUS SOME OF TJ. THERE'S LOTS TO DO! IGNORE THE TRASH...THATS SOMETHING I DONT APPRECIATE ABOUT MEXICO. PEOPLE TEND TO BE CARELESS REGARDING CLEANLINESS. 
ON SUNDAY WE HAD THE SPEAKER COME TO OUR HOME FOR HOSPITALITY. ANOTHER 15 FRIENDS CAME AND IT WAS A PLEASANT AFTERNOON. HE GOT BAPTIZED 11 YEARS AGO AT A SPECIAL DAY ASSEMBLY IN ROSARITO AND WAS THE ONLY CANDIDATE! HOW SPECIAL! THEY BOTH ARE PIONEERING IN ENSENADA NORTH.
SOME OF US PLAYED MONOPOLY AFTERWARDS.

Rosarito Baja News- 3
Hello!!!
So, I've been well this week. I suppose every week is a good one as long as I'm obedient to Jehovah and out their helping people. Last Friday we I went to the service meeting and only 2 other sisters showed up. All three of us went to the territory and had a succesful morning. Though the weather was getting cold and was a bit foggy, we each spoke with at least one person. I found 2 men at their homes, and I shared a Bible text with each one. I was apprehensive for a moment with the first man. He seemd like a know-it-all and I thought he was going to be synical. I was wrong! He accepted the December magazines and allowed for a return visit. The second man I spoke with was obviouslly deported. He said he has many questions about life and God. He believes in God, but isnt interested in religion. He's gone to various churches but none have satisfied him. He is currently going to Calvary Chapel and likes the Pastor. He knows that the world situation is getting crazy and thats why he's turning to the Bible for anwers. I told him I understood his feelings regarding religion and commended him for searching for the answers. Then, I read Tim 3: 1-4, 18 and asked him to tell me if he's noticed any of these descriptions now. He was very enthusiastic about the fact that what was mentioned, is actually being seen now. I also lead him to the Truth Tract and explained how we, as JW's, are looking for people who want answers from God'sWord. I read the first question box with him. We spoke for a few minutes afterwards, and I promised to return with a Bible. I need to go back tomorrow, hopefully.
After finishing the territory, the sisters took me on my call Pedro. Remember my bird poop experience? Well, thats Pedro!Though I had gone by about 3 times during the week, I found him there that morning. I read about 6 paragraphs with him and various scriptures. I noticed that he has very low reading comprehension. So, I would ask secondary questions, and stress certain clue words. Repetition is something that I have to continue to use too. His reading is good, but he also doesnt ahve a wide vocabulary. I did a brief review afterwards and I think his understanding overall is well. Patience will help me, and of course, Jah's spirit. Pedro seems like hes truly appreciative about learning and says it, so I wont stop going!
Our meeting time has changed with the new year. I wouldve prefered an earlier time, but 4pm it is! Thats okay, at least we have somewhere to meet! About two weeks ago I had heard of a fire damaging a KH in SD. Now, yesterday I heard of a second fire, at the same KH and vandalization being done to it. It made me think of how the situation will continue to worsen, not just abroad, but also in our area. Nothing that serious has happened to our KH's locally, but we never know!
Today my mom, brother and I were ready to go out in the ministry, but the car never turned on. We each tried, but the car wouldnt even squeak. We walked to the main boulevard and did 'public witnessing'. I visited a lady call, but she wasnt home. My brother checked up on two, and he has nice brief conversations with them. My mom spoke to about 2 different men, who were both working at seperate locations. they both spoke good English and were also deportees. She placed mags with them and hopes to return to continue the conversation. It was a pleasant morning and also very dry and windy. It almost felt like summer. Tomorrow is Teen Nite, and Friday is our meeting. I will write more next week!
Facts of Mexico: All of the work that was being done in the Central American branches, have now been directed to the Mexico Branch. Mexico is now in charge of the literature for those countries, amongst other things. Another cool fact from June, is that 12.9% of the Publishers work as Regular Pioneers.
Hope I hear some of your cool experiences!!!!
Your little sister,
Izmir
