I am going to send you this experience that happened. I don't think I want to send it in the mass email, but it is funny. This was my third week out, so about 9 weeks ago.

 

There is a new convert in our group named 'Juliet.' She is a single mother from Africa. She has 5 little kids. Her oldest son, Dennis, was going to get baptized in the next couple weeks, and Juliet wanted us to teach him the missionary lessons just so he could get an idea of why he is getting baptized. He is about 9 years old and African. We couldn't teach him inside a house without a member, so we just went and sat at a park bench. 

 

We were teaching him the plan of salvation. We had small cutouts that we laid on the ground to help him visualize the whole thing. In the middle of this, there were two Muslim guys that came and sat about 10 yards away from us. They just started staring out us. Dennis is really insecure and has a form of ADHD, so he started crying because they were staring at us. My companion just turned to them and asked 'Alles klar?' The two guys started freaking out and saying stuff like 'are you saying I am a bad person because I am a Muslim' and stuff like that. Then, out of nowhere, another guy came and just said that we should never come knock on his door. 

 

There was an old lady who heard the noise from her apartment. She came out and asked if we were a American. We said yes. She asked us what we were doing. We just told her that we were teaching this kid about Jesus Christ. She stopped, then started yelling at us: "oh? Jesus Christ?" Then she started cussing at us and was telling us to get lost and go back to America. She started to say some stuff about Donald trump and then started hitting me with her umbrella. At the same time, Dennis is standing up, balling his eyes out and kicking the cement with his foot, and the two Muslim guys are still yelling. So my companion and I just left with Dennis. I was in shock for a little bit after that, but it was funny. This whole thing took less than a minute to happen. So crazy, but also rare. I don't think this sort of thing happens very often.
