Do I bother writing anything?

We met with a new family today. We contacted the wife on Saturday (she called us over) and the lesson seemed to go pretty well.

Apparently, this woman and her husband stopped going to church because she hated all the demands for money she was getting.

"You, donate 200, the Pastor wants to go on vacation." kind of thing.

So they responded well when we told them that we didn't do that, they also responded positively when we mentioned tithing.

After visiting them we went and met with Benson to teach the last lesson. Since he's all done we just need to meet with his parents and have him meet with the District Leader then we'll be good to go, but because of the timing of things he'll have to be baptized next week instead of this one.

I did the training for DDM today - it went well.

After DDM we were bounced then visited a member family. We watched a few talks while we were there and called it good for the day after that.

We met with Sister Emmaqulate first thing today. She's doing well, but we're staring at the future with some level of concern: she's moving to Eldoret soon.

We're already making plans for her to meet the missionaries there, but we'll see how the future turns out - we don't want to lose this lady.

Later that day we also met with S. Esther to talk about life after death and the resurrection since her family was giving her beef for believing in "false doctrine" because she couldn't use the bible to prove anything. We turned to 1 Cor 15 and helped clear some stuff up, and she was very happy.

I am furious. Well, I can't say I didn't see it as a possibility, but I had hoped this guy would be more considerate than that.

We walked about 1 hr and 20 min to an appointment only for this guy to bounce. We did a stinking 13 mile or so hike to see this guy, and he wasn't there. Not happy.

The only other person we saw today also annoyed me because the guy just likes to make constant excuses. You'll ask why he hasn't done the reading or why he can't even remember simple things and he'll spent 5-10 minutes making excuses and wasting time. It's not fun.
