This week was alright, really good district meeting. A lot of traveling problems, 1 we dont have a car cause of the car crash a little while ago... gotta love biking, 20 miles a day :P, 2 elder vances tire poped, 3 elder vances peddel fell off, 4 the bile gears attachment broke( its called a derailer, but idk howto spell it so...) 5 elder vances peddel fell off again, 6 we were borrowing the sisters car for exchanges and their bike rack is broke... it fell off with our two bikes while leaving the parking lot... luckily our new potential a very strong guy, ran put and grabbed both bikes and the bike rack before it was hit by any cars( he set it down and the twomof us took it apart because we couldnt pick upmwhat henpicked up....).... loads of fun traveling... hahaha
Because of traveling complications, we have been having some really good street conversations which is cool. When walking home from the bike shop we taught our next door nieghbor the restoration, in a 30 minuet walk because he wanted to know what was different!! We have just been talking to more people then ever before, only problem is we cant go to about 3/4 of are area when we walk... still cant gomto half of it if we bike because the towns are just so far apart....even the church is six miles from our appartment

I think i am finally atarting to understand what people say when they say ohio has rolling hills.... hahaha
I also cant even express how much i love personal study in the morning, there is just so much power in the book of mormon,
This morning i read alma 18 and it just shows the example of how all member missionarie work happens, Ammon desire to teach the people and bring them into the joy of god, but before they were ready to accept thst message alma had to help god by serving them. You also find how really the priestood is when reading about how he was protected when protedting the sheep.... i love the book of mormon.... the book of mormon is my valentine.... hahahahaha
Reed will be babtized on saturday, he is all set and ready, babtiamal interview done. Now we just wait to see if elder vance can dunk a 315 lb reed on saturday... i love reed he is just a big tedy bare. He gave me a hug and picked me up, it felt like that foot ball player was gonna throw me into the roof. He is just awesome
I also taught sarah and mike twice this week, once when me and elder vance went on splits for the night with the priess to help them understand missionary work. And another time with elder michaels. They are just so solid. We walk in the house and you can just feel the change in their day. In how the readily accept every word we say, i cant wait for them to get babtized on the 21st, in a month or so... they are just 1 in a thousand, i had to talk to a thousand pwople to find them... but thats the life of a missionary
Finally, i went on an exhange with elder michaels, he has been out about 2 weeks now, he is such a stud. He was so prepared for a mission, we had so much fun, finding people like crazy. We set a goal to teach so many people about family history and we well over exceeded it almost trippled our goal actually. He is just such a stud. We also got cussed out, but you take the good with the bad, it was his first time getting yelled at like that .... ops hahaha. Take the good with the bad.
Love yall
