28 June 1978 Wednesday
We spent most of this morning answering questions which Lizion sent us from Morroco. She has some Amercan friends who have an antimormon book. Afer we got tired of that we went out. We had appts. with Blommaerts and Delanges. The one with Blommaerts didn’t go through so we hit up a few doors tracting and made an appointment for tonight and then went to Delanges. Mw Delanges daughter in law was there with her baby so we couldn’t teach. All of their daughters friends were there also so there was quite a bit of confusion going on.
Hilde was also in a bad mood. Elder Reber and I have made a mistake I think because we have gotten to[o] close to those girls in a way that is inappropriate for missionaries. They more or less expect it from us now and also I think the father has the wrong ideas about us now. I think he has the idea that we came to see his daughters instead of him. Elder Anderson did a good job of getting us back on the right track today.
After the daughter in law left, He and Mw Delange started talking about a ster [I think this was Dutch name for the Ensign, it means “star”] that we had left behind. She really has a lot of interest. We really have to work on getting the image of missionarys from the Church of Jesus Christ in their home. After dinner we taught Mr. Delaby with whom we had made that appointment. Him and his wife are older people but are real nice. Jan Sneyers appt. didn’t go through but we did teach a policeman, his wife and daughter. He was real friendy. He & his daughter don’t believe in God but his wife does. His wife did really want us to come back but he did[n’t]. His name is Mr Pir and we have seen him quite a bit in Vivloorde. I look forward to teaching them.
