Weekly email 3

     So last week we started off by getting groceries and then sticking them in our backpacks and riding back to the apartment. That was fun and the whole time I was praying that my milk wouldn't crush my eggs and luckily it did not so that was good. We taught a lady the first lesson and she seemed receptive but she hasn't contacted us back yet so I think she isn't interested anymore but we'll see.

     Later we went to this nature park trail and I stacked some rocks which was pretty fun and mostly frustrating. Most people who aren't already members just don't want anything to do with us so it's a miracle when someone finally does meet with us, so it's huge that we actually found a family, a mom and two kids. They're really receptive because she is dating a member and they're really cool. We're excited to meet with them again soon and keep giving them the lessons. 

     Oh and the members here love their Texas BBQ so they take us a lot to show off just how good it is and I'm amazed every time at just how good it truly is. 

Oh my favorite thing we've done so far besides teach that family was have lunch, let me explain. So we met up with the Spanish elders because they were in our area and we figured we'd go have lunch. So we get to the lake that they are studying at and one of the elders, Elder Gibbs, his aunt drives up and buys us lunch and we eat it at the lake. It was great and the weather was overcast and sprinkling it was a perfect day, then we went and did good work. 

     The other interesting things that happened was one night there was maybe a drug bust or something going on in our complex because me and Elder Myers rolled up to our apartment on our bikes and these cops sniped us in the face with a spotlight so that was fun, this happened right after the picture with the bike. Other than that its just been raining and storming like all day which is fun. 

Well I sure love you all and really enjoy hearing from you.
