We had an interesting experience before our Wednesday afternoon English Class started.  Krishan, Gihan, and Dinuka come an hour before class starts just to talk and visit with us. They are three business men that have attended the class for almost three years now.  They have been with three sets of senior missionaries.  Elder Meyers was in the clerk's office working on records and I was across the hall visiting with these men.  Out of the blue, Gihan asks if I have read the Bible all the way through.  I reply, yes several times.  He asks, "How big is your Bible?" I answered, It is very big and went to the closet and brought in the Bible and showed it to him.  He said, "That is bigger than Mr. Biggs' Bible."  I walked back to the closet and brought in the Book of Mormon.  The men all chimed in with, "That's Mr. Biggs' Bible."  I said, "This is what we call the Book of Mormon."  It isn't our Bible but it goes along with the Bible and testifies that Jesus is the Christ.  One of them said, I have tried to read it but I can't understand it.  I told them that we would be glad to read it with them if they would like.  I did have a chance to explain the basis outline of the Book of Mormon and we talked a little about the prophet, Joseph Smith. Hopefully they will ask again or I can ask them if they have decided to let us read with them sometimes when we aren't in English since we aren't to speak about religion in our class.
We've talked with Elder and Sister Biggs several times but they never told us that they had given all three of these men a Book of Mormon.  I guess they gave them to Krishan, Gihan, and Dinuka the last time they saw them and told them that we would need to help them learn about this book.
After class, the same evening, Dinuka comes up to Elder Meyers and ask him what does resurrection mean?  They have a nice discussion about resurrection.  Brother Anura, our tri-shaw driver, heard that conversation. As he was driving us home, we were talking about the experiences we had had at class.  He said, "I will pray for them to open their hearts."  Anura has such pure faith.  We love being around him.
Yesterday we held Family Home Evening with Brother Harold and Sister Rosemary's family.  They wanted us to meet their older children, Amy and Robbie.  Robbie was called into work and Amy was planning on going on a date.  Her father told her that she had to come out and visit with us before she left.  She was a little reluctant.  Amy is 21 and hasn't been active in church the last few years.  When she first came out she did only what was expected.  Then she returned to her room and prepared for her date.  After she got dressed she came back into visit with us and her attitude was better.  As our children always say, FFF, Forced Family Fun! We enjoyed visiting a little with Amy and meeting her boyfriend, John.  Jessie is a special needs child.  He keeps everyone on their toes.  Kate is almost 12.  She is a very kind and giving young lady.  Harold served a mission in Arizona.  Rosemary is a hard working, loving woman, who wants to raise her family to love and serve the Lord. We were just told by the Brother Nihal, the Elder's Quorum President, that no one has been able to go home teaching at their house for ten years.  I guess they would come to church but won't let anyone into their home.  This made us feel good that they let us come and participate in their family home evening.  They also allowed us to come home teaching last month.
Elder Meyers wasn't able to attend church today.  He was having a little problem with his stomach.  He is feeling better this afternoon.  President Anton, who is  a doctor, said he would come after he is done at church and make sure he is OK.
