Hahahahaha

I spent along time laughing last night after I heard that dad is the second counselor in the bishopric. Did I know it was coming? No. Am I surprised? Not at all. This week was not great, but not bad. We were able to see the Ellingtons, the family I was talking about last week, on Monday. They are super elect and ready for the gospel. We were going to go and meet them on Thursday, but their apartment flooded, and we didn't want to bug them in all the craziness. The stinky part is they are moving just barely out of our area soon, and when they do that, we won't be able to teach them anymore😩.

We are also teaching Nancy and Lucas, but we haven't been able to meet with them this week because they are out of town. But the good part is that they actually remembered our appointment and called us from out of town and told us they were sorry and promised us they weren't avoiding us😊. So that's good. 

Speaking about avoiding us, there's this less active member we've been trying to see ever since I've been in Summerfield (Elder Nelson actually baptized him when he was here). He's avoiding us. He never answers the door even if he is home and he also never answers his phone for us. We were over there on Saturday and we knocked on his door and of course he didn't answer (he was home too, both his cars were there). So we tracted his street and we saw him drive right past us. We waved, but he made sure not to look at us. Later we were walking back to our bikes and we saw him driving toward us on the way to his house. He must've seen us because he quickly turned into a driveway, backed out, and gassed it. He ran away from us! Wow, are we really that ugly? Well, maybe Elder Murray is 😜. Yeah, we meet some weird people. Why doesn't he just come outside and tell us to never come back if he really hates us so much?

We met another strange man on Thursday while we were tracting apartments (You meet all the weirdos in the apartments👹). He opened the door and we told him we were sharing a message about Jesus Christ. He said, "Who is Jesus Christ?" We told him that Jesus Christ is the son of God. He then asked, "Who is G-O-D?" We were confused, so we asked him who he thought God was. He came outside, and closed the door behind him. This guy had dreads going down past his waist, and they were HUGE and did not smell very good. He started talking about how Ethiopians were the first "Christians" and how he's Ethiopian, and how Ethiopia has the real Bible translated from Geez, an ancient dead language that his brother can speak and translate BTW. Then he talked about how Jesus sounds like Zeus, so Jesus is a mythical person as a result. But there is Jesus (Jess-us), who is like Jesus. And then he finished the conversation by saying that he is Jesus. He then told us he needed to go inside to feed his baby and we should come back some other time. Poor baby...I wonder what his future will be like.

Anyway. Transfers are gone. We have some new people in the district, but they don't seem that cool yet, but we'll see. Well, bike week is over thank goodness, just in time for it to get warm. We always have the bikes during the cold spells. Oh well. It builds character right...whatever. Well, things are going well, hoping to find some more people to teach, and getting excited about the semi warm weather, as well as dreading the summer. Love y'all, I'll talk to ya next week!
