More Pictures!

This week was really good. We had a really awesome family at church yesterday. The mom and four kids were already waiting for us outside and ready to go to church when we passed by to bring them to church. The mom (Jenaina) must have had a really good experience at Relief Society because all of the other classes and Sacrament Meeting were about tithing and offerings. The gospel principles teacher told her to not believe anything we told her, and to go and pray for a testimony from God. She then told him that she believes that a testimony starts with our feelings and that she feels really good in church. Later during Sacrament Meeting she said to us that she wants her son to serve a mission just like us. I believe that this woman is an elect of God, and I will do everything I can to help her get married so that she can be baptized. 

Also our president said that we cannot have a blog because people will think that the missionaries opinion is the stance of the church. I'm pretty sure people can still read my letters though, haha.

I think the strangest thing here is all the little churches. I keep encountering advertisements for curings and miracle workings, and when we walk by a few churches that are wide open the people are doing strange things like linking arms and screaming things.

 Lots of love,
