This place is getting more like home...

So this last week was funny. Yes I'm being straight forwards with it, deal with it.

So me and Elder Avarell were walking around contacting yesterday. We stopped a man who just got home and was closing his gate. He was super nice and super mean at the same time. He was the nicest mean guy I've ever met. He told us to F off, called us Irish, then we said we were from America and he opened the gate to invite us in for cold drink (soda). He never yelled, never got mad, just was super honest, super nice and super mean. I can't but laugh at him.

Also, JW's know the church very well here and actually have a class on "How to Bash with Elders"... Yeah. Love this country. This is why I have "75 question's Jehovah's Witnesses don't like to be asked." Yeah, they fear missionaries here, just because they try and out scripture us. I'll leave it at that.

Also, the members here in Florida haven't had Elders visit them in a long time.That's just super sad, but we were super excited to visit with them.

Also had a super not fun time this week and a super awesome time this week. I'll start with the bad.

So we visited this less active family in this place called Fleurhof (you just try and say it. I will buy you lunch when I get home if you do it infront of me) So we went in and this lady was super nice but wanted to give us back all of her church stuff. Something had happened in the past that the whole family left the church. It really broke my heart to read her super old book of mormon with a personal message from the ELder that gave it to her. Broke my heart bad....

Then we also saw an investigator named Momo. She's the most monotone person on earth. You could have a song that only uses middle c on a piano and she is still more monotone than that. But she read the first three chapters of the book of mormon and accepted to be baptized. And when I say read, I mean she read details and went for a understanding. She might not have seemed excited, but she also wond 2 competitions and got free money and her tone and face never changed.... yeah.

*Oh, and there was this placed called Krespy Kremes. I'm not sure if they have it back home, but some of my district went to the opening today....*

That's my week. Peace!!!
