Just a quick journal entry. Last night as in our Pearl of Great Price class, I was watching the students reading in their scriptures looking for the answers to a question I had asked. As I walked around and watched I realized that we had three investigators in the class; investigators who have been coming each week since the sister missionaries brought them (and left them as they are not allowed to stay) the first time. All three were busily working to find the answers in scriptures someone had loaned them. One of them was being helped by a YSA who will be leaving on her mission soon. When I asked them to write their findings on the board, she encouraged him to write one of the answers. It reminded me of a mother lovingly teaching her child. I was so impressed with Dreke (ndreh keh). She will be a super good missionary.
I am grateful that the sister missionaries (2 sets of them) trust us to teach these investigators and trust the YSAs that come to the institute to befriend them. On the last count their trust is well founded. As we took some of the YSAs to the bus stop for their long ride home (1 hour) two of the YSA men were shepherding her, and I heard one of them say, "That was hard for me, too, when I was learning the gospel before I joined the church."
