This last week has been a fast one. There is just so much work to do and not enough hours in a day to do it. We have been talking to as many people we possibly can and we have been finding tons. We have 30 people we are teaching. I have never felt so busy. It is a missionary's dream to spend almost all day in lessons. We put 4 people on date for baptism and we are hoping to put more on this week.
We also made a video with Louis. It has the most views and reactions out of any of the posts that have been on the page yet. Here is a link if you would like to see it!
One of the people we put on date is named Erica. After we put her on date we said a closing prayer. After the prayer she began to sob. She said that it was a good feeling and she didn't know why she was crying. I looked at her mom who had been listening but hasn't showed interest and she had tears in her eyes too. Out of all the people we are teaching, Erica deserved the spiritual witness the most. She was reading and praying like we asked, and was really engaged in the lessons. We get out what we put in. I wish the other people we were teaching understood that concept.
A good portion of the people we are teaching are Muslim. I find it very interesting that they don't believe in the divinity of Christ. They read the bible and say He is only a prophet. They pick and choose what scriptures they like out of it. I find the religion on the whole to be hypocritical. With all of this said, they can be exceptionally nice people. I hope I can help some of them to find the Christ.
I hope you all have a great week!
