Well hows it going?!
So something kind of exciting. I took a ride in a convertible this morning to the library. I really can't remember the last time, or if ever I've done that before. Now this was a bright orange pt cruiser with a painting of a desert scene on the back. I've always kind of laughed at those things but they are way comfortable. And it was a lot of fun just to be in a convertible. That member is actually about to be a called as a ward missionary. So we'll be able to ride in the "pumpkin" (as he calls it) a lot more.
Yesterday was great! We were biking to go see some people and we got absolutely drenched! We went to see a family where we had only met a couple members and we hadn't been able to sit down with all of them yet. Well we knocked on the door and the whole family was there. And they had to let us in because it was a downpour and they would probably feel super guilty if they didn't. So they gave us some towels and we were able to dry off and teach there whole family the first lesson. The teenagers were definitely more interested. The father is from mexico and doesn't speak much english which made it kind of difficult. But hopefully a few of them will be coming to church this upcoming Sunday.
Also another day we had a lot of fun. We were going to be having dinner up at the bishops house by the lake. Well there is no other members, less-active or active, former investigators, or anything in that general area. And it takes us a good 45 minutes to bike over there. So we decided that we were going to knock up there... for 5 hours. And we did and it was awesome! We actually taught 4 lessons. None of which we were sitting down. But still it's good. One man we have particularly high hopes for, he didn't know anything about what we believed in. But once we shared it with him he seemed very interested. He was on his way to work so we had to let him go. But we gave him some pamphelets and will be seeing him again soon.
It's been great here though. Since Elder bowen and i have been working so hard we've been seeing a lot of miracles. The ward is starting to point us out to good less actives to go and see. We even got a referral yesterday! Which is actually the first one that i have recieved in this area! The members are hopefully seeing how much work we are doing, and because of that they are willing to let us teach their friends. Everyone member we talk to always brings up somebody which they are working with. It's exciting because i feel that we're going to see a lot of miracles coming soon.
This week should definitely be very productive. Today we're going to go to the state museum (I'll take lots of pictures!). Tomorrow is interviews with president holm and the no more strangers fireside. Friday Jamey will be getting baptized. Then we have lots of appointments and people to go see throughout the rest of the week. Also we have a lot of members feeding us which is always great!
Tell Dad that i think that he should go do the driving test thingy. If he needs help studying for the written part ask sadie and mikayla to help. They study every once and a while. I mean.. why not? That's just me though ;)
Well I love y'all and i love hearing all the stories from home. I couldn't be a prouder big bro.
