Another Great Week

Back yet again with another great week behind us. :) Almost got 9 months already. Wow. What else? Well we were teaching someone named D* and she was reading and praying and almost left work early to go to church. She got all sentimental with our sacrifices and all that and thanked us very sincerely. I explained that we are glad to do it. It's like we prepare the food and all they have to do is eat, or keep the little commitments we leave. She then told us she was really grateful for how we had helped her feel, because before, she had been suicidal. We thought, WOW she's really progressed! Then she decided to put brakes on the whole show. She told us she has a catholic BF in the Dominican Republic who would never accept anyone from any other religion. She said she wasn't willing to go to church or get baptzed. Just like that. Oh well. :/

What else? Last week we contacted someone named M*. She's 23 and was married to her brother's dad. Makes me think of the song "I'm my own grandpa". :)

Anyway I say she was married to him because the week before we met her he had died... That's fun to hear.  :( Obviously, we zipped right to Matthew 19: 5 and 6 and told her that when God unites two people, niether man nor death can separate them. Then, when we asked her how she could be united by the power of God, we suggested baptism, church attendance, prayer, scripture reading, you know, the basics of the new and everlasting covenant. :)

Well, there goes. :) Thanks for your prayers, your support, your help, your love, and, well, being you! :)
