Alrighty then!
So as everyone knows i got transfer calls last Saturday! I have now been transferred as of wednesday and am in... Gilbert, SC! Never heard of it you say? Well neither has anyone else for that matter. Basically imagine woods and trailers, lots and lots of trailers. And lots and lots and lots of dogs, some not so nice.
My new companion is Elder Young from Bountiful, Utah who just got finished being trained. He sure has a ton of energy. Back home he did all that biking and stuff and let me tell you he goes fast! It's so weird because now i'm this really old missionary, and i sure feel like i am too. I remember back in the good ol days when i was like that. Anyway we had such a fantastic week! There are two investigators here who are Jeff and Anisha who the past elders had worked with for a little bit and are going to be baptized this coming Saturday! So that's way exciting!
Also we've been knocking quite a bit and the other day we ran into a man named LJ. LJ is a really tall guy who was a biker for the last 40 years and that's exactly what he looks like. Handlebar mustache and a mullet. Evidently he had read the book of mormon back in vietnam. He doesn't remember anything from it, but still it's good. We were able to step in and teach a first lesson. After the closing prayer he told us that it was interesting that we came by. Just a couple days ago he had been praying to God because he didn't agree with his church and he didn't know what to do. So it was perfect!
We had a funny experience the second day i was here. So we biked about two hours and the whole time i could not for the life of me keep up with Elder Taylor. I felt as if i had absolutely no energy. We pulled over and checked my gears and my chain and everything seemed absolutely fine. Then we got back to the car and i spun the front tire. It stopped instantly. Evidently the brakes were too tight the entire time which stopped my front tire from working at all.
OH my goodness how could i forget! So two days ago the most amazing thing happened on my mission. We were doing companionship study when i looked out the window. And what did i see? SNOW! I saw snow falling from the sky! Can you believe it?! I've been praying for that stuff for my entire mission! So God even answers the little prayers that don't seem important. He just answers them in his own time.
Well it's kind of a short quick update but that's all i have at the moment.
