Hi I'm ____ and people think I'm weird

Hey everyone!

This week was slow but went really well. Our area has been struggling lately so we spent a lot of time going around and rescheduling appointments with everyone. There hasn't been a whole lot of progress this week, so I'll tel you about a couple different things that happened.

So this week we received a reference for a lady who lives in this place called El Valle. I had never been there before but one day we decided to take a car and go out to visit her. It turns out El Valle is a little town about 40 minutes from where we live and we realized how giant our area actually is. El Valle is 40 minutes away on a straight road with no stops, and then you keep going on that road for 45-60 min and are still in our area. There are a lots of clusters of houses but its hard to visit them so we don't know how much work we will be able to do there.

For Valentines Day our ward did a karaoke activity. It was fun to see a crazier party side of the members. And then on Saturday we had a fun activity with the ward for carnivales, which normally consists of balloons being filled with water, or powder, or paint, etc. and being thrown. But since it was at the church we just had water. But it was fun because we basically just had a giant water war with the ward. Too bad carnivales are only celebrated in February.

One thing that might make you laugh, is that the sisters have an investigator who they feel uncomfortable around so they gave us permission to visit him. So we went in to talk with him and one of the first things he said to us is that people think he's weird haha. Then he showed us his classical music and how he loves Vivaldi. He also loves to look at greek style statues which was a little strange. Then he told us that he does push ups in the back of his store for 4 hours every day. So yeah, his name is close to the word abnormal so we just call him abnormal.

Anyway that's about it for this week. It's crazy how true the church is. Some different people have tried to tell us our church is false for different reasons and my companion knows so much and can whip out any bible verse to burn the person. We lovingly burned some inactive members this week with Ecclesiastes 3 verses 1-8. They kept telling us they didn't have time to read the scriptures or anything. After that verse they changed and really want to give time for God. So that is my challenge to y'all ;) There is time for everything, even if you are busy please pray and read your scriptures!❤
