So i had a pretty awesome birthday. It was actually a really fun dinner because we had pizza hut. I ate an entire cheese pizza and two chocolate cupcakes, i was very, very full.
But yeah i got my new mountain bike last week and it is really awesome! I have to say that i love to bike now, i didn't realize it but this whole time it wasn't that i was a wimp, it was just that my back wheel has always been broken. I guess the bearings didn't work, and the back axle snapped in half, and the back rim was slightly bent so it wobbled, but besides that it worked. But now my new bike is awesome! I meant to send a picture today, i remembered really hard to bring my card reader. But unfortunately i forgot to bring a card that it could read... so i guess I'll be sending home pictures next week!
But yes i got your awesome package! I got to say that i love the new watch, I'm actually wearing it as we speak. And actually those orange sticks weren't melted when i got them, and they tasted delicious. I'm also very grateful for that new CD case, i needed that really bad. I had CDs all over the place. Oh, and those MIB3 sunglasses are pretty awesome, i wear them a lot now, and i realize most of my pictures i'm wearing them. So i'll try to get some pictures without sunglasses. But now Elder Dietz and I want to get one of the memory erasers so that we can be even more awesome.
Yeah President Holm called me back and told me that dad was in the ER, but he told me that everything was ok now. I've got to say that it didn't sound okay at first. I thought you were gonna end by saying, and he's dead. I'm very grateful that we have the medical knowledge in these days. Because that sounded pretty crazy!
Okay so i cooked! I made two things so far. I made some KFC wings, but i have to say that mine taste better. And i have a few witnesses that say i do it's not just me. But the wings that i made weren't dry. Then i made some buffalo wings! I am addicted, I'm really excited that i'll be able to cook all of this stuff when i get home. Now i know that so far everything has been deep fried, but i got a really good recipe for some ribs that i will be attempting really soon... probably today. So it's not gonna be healthy, but when i get home i'm making, fried wings, buffalo wings, ribs, fried turkey, bacon salad, and twice baked potatoes. I love the south. Plus i also learned how to make orange julius, but we don't have a blender so i haven't been able to do that yet.
You'll have to send me a picture of dads mountain bike, because when i get home i also plan on doing some mountain biking. I may actually do some road biking too because it's really fun when you get going on the road, and i bet i could get going a lot faster on a road bike.
So David is doing great! He's reading the Book of Mormon like crazy and when he comes to church he comments a lot in class and the spirit is just really strong. He says that he'll be reading the Book of Mormon at 8:00pm and then he'll look at the clock again and it will be 12:00am. Then he has to force himself to put the book down and tells himself that he'll be able to read more of it the next day. Right now he is in the book of Jarom.
We have a new(ish) investigator that i may have told y'all about. But his name is John and we have had some very interesting visits with him. For the most part our visits with him he's usually pretty drunk. But two times ago we went over and he was sober and we taught him the word of wisdom and he told us he would quit. He actually knows a good amount about religion because he has a minor degree in theology. But we went their last night and he was sober again and he hasn't drunk anything since the time before. Plus he's been reading the Book of Mormon and he's told us in the past that he knows that it is a true book. So i just said, "wait, i'm confused by your answer. If you believe the Book of Mormon is true, then why aren't you a latter day saint?" Then he said that he had been thinking about converting. So i invited him to be baptized and he's on date for July 28!
We also have another investigator who is dating a member right now. His name is Clifford (he's blonde) and he's super solid. The only problem right now is that he lives in the middle of nowhere and he doesn't have a car. Plus he lives farther away than any active member so nobody passes him on the way to church. But he really loves to read and he's hopefully been reading since we last saw him. But we taught him about the Restoration in the church with another member that he knows and it went great!
