As we come around a corner three young children, collecting firewood, stop to look at us&#8230;.'Salam&#8217; we greet them, smiling at the kids.

We then had lunch together during which lively discussion about the Sabbath, holy days, immortality of the soul and law vs grace continued. Only one of the men shows potential for being called now. He has studied all our literature for 8 years and is very well versed in the Bible and can explain our doctrines well. However, the ...
