Here's part 2. So much has happened so I'll try and be as concise as possible with these hilarious stories.
As Sister Allen would say "there must be something in the water" here in Los Banos because everyone has either been yelling at us or creepin on us. Not literally yelling, but definitely some hardcore bashing in Spanish. And to make things worse, their arguments are horrible. For example.

*Man trying to prove that the Book of Mormon is false because it contains the story of in Ether of the Jaredites going to the Americas after God confounds their language at the Tower of Babel.* "That's impossible. You know why? Because after the Lord confounded their language and when the flood came, Noah's family was the only lineage on the Earth and their names are recorded here". We calmly opened to Genesis and helped him see that he should reevaluate his argument hahaha. The flood (Genesis 7-8) happened before the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11). Aka the had plenty of time to multiply and replenish the earth before their language was confounded. He had a bunch more nonsensical arguments but there was no point in trying to help this man because he didn't want to understand.
Another lady told us "if you're going to go around and preach you really should know more of what you're talking about." As she tells us that the Jehovah Witnesses made the King James Version of the Bible. (In case yall didnt know, that's not true.)

Got a few men hitting on us too. Remember good old George who calls me his "Queen"? Here's just a snippet of the conversation we had with him the other day.
Brown: "How have you been?"
George: "Still single. Waiting for you."
Brown *ignores comment*: "George how do you like Fresno?"
George: "I like it but not the violence."
Brown: "Oh yea that's understandable"
George: "I cant do the violence. I wouldn't want to be walking down the street with our kids. You and me walking with our kids down the street. It's not safe."
Brown: "George we are not going to have kids together."
George: "I know we aren't going to be together. I would have to change my life around to be with you. But if we were I would be so lucky. To have a woman right with God."

Poor George just needs a little more of God's love in his life.
Then we have Aaron who we met at a stop light and asked for our number. We said "we're missionaries so if you want to talk about God, of course!" He responded "perfect I'm Christian!" 1 minute later we get a call. "Que hermosas. So cute. I'm 28, how old are you two? Wow you're young. Also just so you know I'm married and have a kid. Yea if you could pray for my wife and our relationship, were going through some stuff. She gets so jealous. Honestly she's just insecure." We told him that of course we would pray for them and then informed him that if he would like to learn more, there are super cool Elders that would love to talk with him!
We realized that with every bash and every other weird situation that happened, God placed a nice little miracle in our path.
- Our favorite taco truck guy hooked us up with free tacos.
- Noemi and Dana came to the women's session on conference and loved it!!! Noemi said that Russell M. Nelson spoke with all his heart and that everything he said is true!
- We finally had another lesson with Tiffane. We found out that she has been working insane hours. At least 5 out of her 7 workdays is 5am to 3am THE NEXT DAY. That should not even be legal. But shes still super interested and is as sweet as ever!

I seriously love being a missionary. There are hard moments, but there is always a lesson to be learned or a memory to be made within them.
Love yall. Thanks for putting up with my super long emails this week.
Have a great week.
