Last Sunday we attended Branch Council Meeting.  Every time the leaders wanted something done they would turn around look at Elder Meyers and me and say, "The Mayers can do that."  After several times of saying that I said, "We will be glad to help you do anything, but we feel we are here to help you, not to do it for you."  I'm not sure if they really understood what I was saying but I hope so.  We don't want to do it for them because we will be leaving and they still won't know how to do it unless they actually do whatever it is that needs to be done.  We did find out that the last couple had baptized seven people the night before they left in November.  Out of those seven only one is still coming.  We were asked to visit with those individuals.  We said that we would be glad to do that if they got us a list with their names, addresses and phone numbers since we had no records of them in our apartment.  When we left the Church we still didn't have the list.  The next day Elder Meyers was going through some papers and low and behold what did he find, the baptism records of these seven people.  We prayed that a way would be provided that we could contact some of them.  We arranged for a driver and a member to go with us but that fell through.  On Tuesday we held our English class and a new person came.  After class we discovered that he was one of the seven newly baptized members.  He said that he had to work on Sunday.  The next night during our other English class another new lady came.  After class we were talking to her and found out that she too was baptized in November.  She said that her sister and brother in-law were also baptized with her in November.  She said that they all had been sick with fever for the last month or so.  The Lord provides and gets the job done in His own way.  This week we plan to try and visit others.
I was asked to talk in Sacrament Meeting today.  I was given the assignment to talk about living prophets.  I used Elder Neil L. Andersen's last conference talk and made my talk around that.  He spoke about taking offence and being ashamed.  I guess the members around here are offended very easily. 
Today after church, Brother Nihal, asked if Elder Meyers and I would be willing to teach a private English class to some men in the Sri Lankan Air Force.  We said we would be glad to do that.  That class will be on Tuesday after our other class.
Life is good! Hooray for Israel!!!
