Ana's baptism date

We set a baptismal date with Ana Gabi on Wednesday. On Tuesday we had a lesson with her, her friend (Casidee) and her parents. Half way through the lesson their home teachers come and gave an awesome testimony then out of the blue started to spit out all of this false doctrine!  They just kept talking saying stuff like.. " oh ya. it took me 6 months to get baptized and him 5 years" or "yeah a lot of people think that Jesus suffered on the cross, but that is not true because we know that he suffered everything in the garden of Gethsemane" and then they said some weird stuff talking about crosses and how great the catholic church was.. i wanted to slap him in the face... is that mean to say? 
He was studying to be a priest in the catholic church and apparently he still has a love for it. When I touched the subject of the apostasy basically saying that all other churches lack something (the authority) and have added or taken things away ( I was not specific to any churches). I was very blunt about how there is only one true church/gospel and the member got all defensive saying how he didn't like when people are "ballsy" saying that.  I was angry.  There only can exist two churches... so if we don't belong to the true one then we should still have respect for others beliefs.   We shouldn't be mormoncatholics, it just doesn't work like that.  
The important thing is that she is excited for her baptism on the 17 of this month! Everyone is excited. This week was by far the trunkiest week of my mission, i hated it so much. EVERY single dinner we go to and the members ask how long I've been out they always say.. oh your almost home.. you better start packing your bags (it ticks me off).  Then with the announcement of Daniel getting married, then going to the Temple, then Lisa coming home soon (which is crazy!).  Then I found out that one of my other friends is getting married.  It scares me..I try and soak up every moment as a missionary.  It does not effect the work. I love the work!
