Anacita isn't getting baptized this Saturday.  After we taught her and Vicente the sixth discussion, we were filling out the district leader's worksheets.  When we asked the date of her marriage, she told us that she and her husband weren't married.  Damn, I hate this country.  The freakin' Catholics run the country, so divorce is illegal.  So, naturally, a lot of couples don't get married just in case things don't work out down the road.  Then the missionaries come along and say they need to get married in order to be baptized, but they can't afford to because they have eight children and no steady income.
