The last several months, I get these pairs of people -- nicely dressed men, maybe two women with some kids -- coming to my door on Thursday mornings. They're nice enough, and they have their literature in hand, but all the eagerness just goes out of them when they see me and I say hello. Now, friends, I admit I don't look a lot like my avatar, but it's not my looks that's turning them off so much as I don't speak Spanish. Mind you, they speak perfectly good English, but they apparently don't want to spread the Good Word to damned souls like me; they'll even ask me for referrals of folks here who do speak Spanish, but then head out fast when I don't refer them to my next-door neighbors, whom they could meet if they'd just bother to knock.
I'm hurt, friends. What is going on here?
