"There was a carnival in town and was on the ride with my husband and daughter, my husbands parents were there too. At one point I was on a ride by myself and tried to find them. Then at a different moment I was walking around town during the day wondering, and walked past a street where there was a group of people from the church I go to welcoming people and trying to grow a new building and congregation. The pastor and his wife was there and when he was nice to me, his wife would get weird and jealous about it as if he was flirting with me. One of the times we had gatherings, they handed out slime/playdough balls they gave out to everyone and mine got dirty and I wondered if we needed to give them back. At another gathering the pastor’s wife had a haircut and was talking to everyone and I told the pastor his wife is beautiful and he said thank you and agreed."
