Sister Virgogirl: " Good morning, we were just visiting our neighbors this beautiful morning!"
Harries Householder: "Oh, did you move in across the street?"
Sister Virgogirl: "No, but all of us are neighbors in God's eyes and we are here to share some good news!"
Householder: "I'm just leaving to take my sick kids to the doctor, I can't talk now."
SV: "Oh, wonderful! Then you'll be happy to hear that soon, God will wipe away sickness and we will live forever in perfect health!"
Householder: " Oh jeez, my kids are yelling at me to hurry up! I have to go."
SV: "What perfect timing for me to have stopped by! Did you know, the Bible shows us how we can raise our children to be loving and respectful of their elders? Let's turn to a scripture at... OH! Guess she closed the door on me! Well, not everyone has a hearing ear. Let's go, Sister Knocksrealsoftly! Some of them just don't want to hear the message!"
