Visitors...

The other day two women came to my door. At first, I stood there looking at them very confused! Then I heard the word "Bible." They proceeded to hand me a booklet, turned to the page written in English, and come to find out, they were Jehova's Witnesses coming to convert me! We tried to communicate but it was mostly futile. I told them I was a Christian and that I already had a Bible. I understood that they were saying they wanted to come back on Saturday with an English speaker. When Saturday came around, I completely forgot that they were coming. I was in my pj's (at 10am), my hair disheveled, unbrushed teeth, Brayden's running around in a diaper, and Mike is in the shower. I didn't know what to do, but I knew I couldn't answer the door like that so I just didn't! I felt so bad, but they eventually walked away. 3 days later my doorbell rang again, and they were back with the English speaker again. This time I answered the door, and they came in for a while to talk. I tried asking them what they believe, but the English speaker said she could not translate well enough. I told them what I believe to see if she would agree, but I'm not sure if she understood. So, she said she is going home to look in her dictionary, and wants to come back on Friday to talk more about it. I'm not sure what the purpose of all of this is, but I think God may be up to something. Maybe they need to hear the truth about Jesus. Or maybe this is a lesson for me somehow, to begin sharing truth, make friends and gain confidence. I don't know yet, but I will update as this story unfolds....
