Let me tell you a little about Chris. He went to a wedding last weekend that was a mormon/catholic wedding. Bad combo. A lot of the catholics were talking bad about the mormons. Chris didn't say anything, but it seemed to make him a bit hard hearted. Even though that happened, he stayed for the 3rd hour of church. He has never done that since I've been here, but we got him to stay We helped him on Wednesday put in a hard wood floor for his kitchen and he was just mad. I figured it was because putting in hard wood is tough. We taught him a lesson on Friday and he didn't seem to want to listen. He just fought with us the whole time. He didn't keep his commitment of the word of wisdom. He said we never explained to him why it was wrong. But we did, and he knew it was wrong. Therefore we went over the importance of prayer and sacrifice. We taught how very important it is to pray and to read your scriptures. We told him that if he prays to have questions answered at conference, the Lord will bless him and answer all his questions. We taught him the word of wisdom is something he needs to do to show his love and sacrifice to the Lord. He needs to give up tea so he can get answers. Well, I left that appointment upset. It seemed he was back to his old self. He then came to all 4 sessions of conference. You could slowly see him getting happier and his hard edge melted away. All of his questions were answered, as promised. It was such a conference miracle. He is taking us to a baptism in New Braunfels (sp?) on Tuesday so he can see what it's like. It took this guy 3 years to get baptized, so maybe he can talk to Chris. Pray that he will understand the spirit he feels there.
On to Marshall. Marshall is a member referral. His neighbor, bro Dykes, is who told us to visit him. Se, Bro Dykes has a Home Improvement thing going on with Marshall. They talk over the fence. Marshall was talking to himone day when out of now where Marshall said "you know what churches are missing these days? REVELATION!" LOL. Bro Dykes informed him of our church. He came 3 sundays but he won't let us teach him. His wife won't even say hi when we come to visit. She was never happy to see us. He somehow got his wife to come with him to conference. They both gained a testimony of the gospel and really are happy to see us now. The thing is that Marshall wants to research on his own. He said he would get back to us in a couple of weeks. Pray that he lets us teach him sooner.
Then we have Monique. Her grandma is Grandma Sliger. She knows the church is true but doesn't know if it's the only true church. She didn't come to conference because her grandma found better things to do. This is way frustrating. Pray that Monique will keep her commitments and gain a stronger testimony and a desire to gain knowledge.
