Saturday
was really the big day for craziness. We had originally planned to head
to a city called Red Springs, but a member called us and convinced us
to go to a flea market that he said there were a lot of Hispanics at.
Because we're hurting for miles, we agreed. (It's only about 1/3 of the
distance of Red Springs.) As we were walking up, I noticed that all of
the signs on the fence were in Spanish, not English. So that was a good
sign. We walked in and there were people everywhere, but there was an
issue: They thought we were the police and would flinch and look away
every time that we passed. So that made talking to people hard. We
started talking to one person at a stand, but then she spent the next 15
minutes deflecting any gospely topics and trying really hard to sell me
these home theater speakers. And she wanted $175 for them. They were
not worth that much. So we made some really terrible excuses and walked
away. We also got yelled at by someone as we passed by, from some Native
American booth. Turns out that he's gone to our church a lot before and
"was ordained an elder in our preistship." So that was interesting. And
then we also saw someone nearly get shot, but that's a long story.
Anyways, we also had a Mother's Day activity and that was weird. We
ended up getting an additional 19 water bottles by the end of that, and
trust me, we didn't have any problems with having enough water. That's
the only picture that I have of this week, sorry.
On Monday
we had a Zone Activity, and that was fun. We did kickball and Ultimate
Frisbee, and I ended up really sore. That was probably because I ran a
few hundred yards with a 175 pound elder on my back. That kinda hurt.
Other than that, it wasn't a very special week. Everyone skipped out on
their appointments. Still trying to work hard. Just as a word of
reminder, (because I know that Mom will forget) transfers are on the
22nd.
