Sho!

We were blessed today, we got 4 new Investigators.

First up, we visited a Recent Convert named Stephen (Steven?) who has had some hard circumstances in life, but things are looking up for him, so it was a nice lesson.

After that, we stopped by a Fundi wa Viatoo (Fixer of Shoes) we contacted a few days a ago, and started to teach him a lesson with two other people just joining in. It was funny how it happened. One just started listening in, then the next just wandered in, another man wandered in, took one look at the crowded room, and left.

It was funny.

From there, we met with yet another new person who is experiencing some hard family circumstances.

We ended the day with a visit to the Kasanga family. The eldest daughter is considering a mission, the mother is certain. I told them to just work on the passport, since they take a long time here.

"Shifting Tides of War"

Three Christians and a Muslim, two missionaries and a Muslim vs another Christian who was stubborn in his belief of the Trinity, and also stubborn in ignoring the direct proofs contrary.

We started the discussion outside a shop owned by this Muslim lady, and she joined in on our side. It was funny. The Muslim belief surrounding Jesus is that he is something like the Greatest Prophet, but he isn't the Son of God, so she was completely on our side when this guy tried to say that God and Jesus were the same. It was funny, we mutually agreed to disagree and just stared at this one guy as he continued to confuse himself.

I told him to his face several times that he was confusing himself, but he refused to believe it, and ignored me when I brought up the Stoning of Steven.

The whole mess lasted a good half hour and we walked away in exasperation, but with no hard feelings.

For the rest of today, we visited Brother Benson and his wife Georgina. I ended up playing with their little girl while E. Mukendi had to teach them what Family Home Evening was in Swahili since they missed the finer points of my English, but oh well.

We got rained on, and taught a Sister named Mary who is a Recent Convert. We read 2 Nephi 30 with her, and that ended our day.
