A Shouted Prayer & A Dog Bite

We are pretty down today.

We knocked on doors this morning.  We got into this one guy's house.  He asked us to bless his wife.  She had a bad pain in the stomach.  Just before we were about to bless her he asked if he could open with a prayer.  That was the weirdest prayer I ever heard.  He started real soft then louder till he was shouting then he started to cry then shout then soft then stop.  We proceeded to bless her but I really didn't feel the spirit and I was too scared.  We have a cita for him tomorrow but I don't know if it will do any good.

We were knocking on more doors after this and Kupu got bit by a dog.  It broke the skin through his pants, warm ups and pajamas.  We were walking along when another dog started sniffing his leg.  I don't think that it would have bitten him but Kupu gave it a kick in the head.  Then a bunch of chalitas started yelling at us for kicking dogs.  Whew!

We have just spent about two hours waiting for the Florta Station to open so we could find out if the ZLs are coming out tomorrow.  It still isn't open.

Poor Kupu has had a bad pain in his throat for a week now and it isn't getting any better.  This, plus the fact that we aren't finding any families to teach isn't helping his disposition at all and when he is down I get down.  I hope we can really get to working soon.  With all the waiting for families and delays, the days really seem long.
