This week was interesting. Every week here is interesting, but somehow normal.
The first thing that happened this week is that we were sitting in a FHE (family home evening) and they had a non-member present. He came over to us and told us that he wanted to be baptized this Saturday. We were super excited. He is in a part member family and when we asked him what made him decide that he wants to be baptized now, he said that he had prayed about the Book of Mormon last week and knew it was true. We do have the rule that a person has to attend church twice before baptism, so he couldn't be baptized this Saturday, but he did come this Sunday. Half way there!
We had a guy get really angry at us. We have been visiting and giving the lessons to his wife and he hasn´t really wanted them. We were talking with him and he kept saying that his wife didn´t want anymore lessons, but seemed really nervous. He kept messing up on conjugations and saying more or less, she doesn´t I want more. We said that we would talk to her as she still had our book. When we all got there he spent about 20 minutes yelling, "why can´t you go to a closer church?" and "It´s that church or me. We will divorce." We are only trying to bless your entire family. Marriage is very important, but salvation is more important.
There was a Christmas activity this Sunday. So my Companion and I decided to try and invite everyone that lived near the chapel. We knocked on over 30 doors, and talked with over 30 families, but none of the came. We did give out some of the churches Christmas cards, so maybe someone will visit the sight.
