This week wasn't very exciting. The most exciting story i can tell you about this week has to do with Brother Fulukani. We have been teaching him, his wife, and two children for as long as I have been in the area, and they were teaching him a while before that. They come to church every Sunday, but did not want to be baptized. we thought it was because the wife could not understand English very well, but come to find out this week, Brother Fulukani has not left his old church officially yet, where he is a witch doctor of sorts. Not a bad one, but a traditional doctor. Africa has lots of weird traditions and things. And so he is hesitant to join the church becuase he knows that if he does he will have to give up being a traditional doctor, because he knows it is wrong, and so now the truth comes out. Wow. He has been coming to church every week for the past 6 months, and still doing his doctor things on the side. Sometimes people are very interesting. We still hope he will be able to give up his "doctoring" and join the true church. He knows it is true and will greatly bless his family. He is just finding it very difficult to leave his past behind. I guess I understand, he has been a traditional doctor for over 30 years. That would be very difficult to leave behind. So, that is the story of the week. Don't worry, we never drank or ate anything while we were at his house :) Well, the work here continues to progress. It is a very exciting time to be serving here in Botswana. I am loving most every minute of it! Thanks for your support and your prayers. Hope you have a great week, and that you enjoyed conference this past weekend.
