July 5 Letter

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY YESTERDAY!!!!
Wow, this week ha been something else! K, to start off we had this appointment on Monday... well she called us to verify the appointment which never happens. Anywho, she invited her "friend" from church. Church of Christ. Great. They are an intense bunch. So, her friend invited us in and asked if we wanted to borrow one of her bibles to study with. We brought our own. She started out (it was weird, we usually do) and offered a prayer. Well we know very well that Church of Christ does not believe that there is any other books but the bible. So I knew where she was going with it. Yeah so she pulled out scripture after scripture teaching us as if we were totally ignorant. We just listened and mostly agreed as she read and preached to us. Until finally Sis. Miller just interrupted her a was like, "Do you know what the book of Mormon is?" The lady was like, "Let me finish." She just went right on talking. Then we started not "bible bashing" but debating a little. Mostly Sis. Miller and her but I was a little annoyed. I just don't like being treated like I know nothing. Yeah, so eventually we just agreed to disagree and the lady we came to see said like a sentence the whole time we were there. We left just spiritually drained. When we got in the car I was like, "We were ambushed. They ambushed us." Uh! Yeah that was only the first. Another trinity lady who tried SO hard to convert us to the idea. And a lady who... ah man. I can't even describe her. And a few Baptists. Oh Baptists. Long long long week.
Then with the 4th of July hardly anyone was at church. Members and investigators. I think we had like 20 people there all together. And everyone was gone so we had nothing to do yesterday. And there would have been no reason to tract because no one was home. Oh fun stuff. Our apartment has decided to revolt. Last weekend the hot water was off. Nice cold showers and the fixer guy only works Monday-Friday and of course it decides to stop working Friday night. Well they came and fixed that but this weekend the air conditioner decides to stop working. Awesome. It is so hot. So... we have stayed the last two nights with members, the French's. They have a giant house and only the two of them. So they don't mind. It is actually nice. They have queen beds and it is so nice and cold. MMM and last night we went and celebrated the fourth with the Martinez's. They lit off some fireworks but it was funny. We had to stop when we saw car lights because it is illegal to shoot them off in town because of the forest. Man and you have not barbecued until you have in the south. That is everywhere. Ha it wasn't us. It was fun though. We had a good time. I have been out a few days and four months. Yay.
LOVE FROM THE SOUTH
