大家好！
We were 6 miles away at a friend's house, just to find that
she got up and went to the doctor and just totally dipped on us. We had biked
there and had already biked 10 miles earlier to another appointment(which also
fell through) so we were gonna make use of the time while we were up in the
area. So during the time we would've taught our friend we called everybody we
knew in the area...no one picked up. Nice. So we started the ride back and
literally within a minute or two Elder Christensen got a flat tire, his
innertube was busted. Nice. So, we started the long trek back saying hi to as
many people as we could. It was totally awesome, we stopped by Baskin Robbins
to treat ourself and we played "I Spy" a lot. Unfortunately no one
wanted to have a conversation with us but that's ok cause something glorious
happened. We were just trudging along with our bikes, looking like fools and I
looked down and saw...half a Styrofoam Bucee’s cup! In the middle of Louisiana!
If that wasn't a testament that everything was gonna be ok I don't know what
is.
Later in the week we ended up having to bike like 33 miles
one day. That might not be a ton to my parents or Mr Player but boy my quads
were dead the next day(I don't like leg day ok). That was fun though, a lot of
waving and smiling to people while you're literally dripping with sweat and
your backpack would stay on you even if it didn't have straps cause it's just
sticking to you cause your back is that sweaty. At first I'm like "man
this is kinda hard trying to smile to everyone" then I think about how
ridiculous I look to others and then I actually start laughing and smiling and
it's all smooth riding from there.
As you can tell, this week was kind of tough physically. But
President Nelson has told us this weekend that "counting our blessings is
far better than recounting our problems". Amen to that. This week was
tiring but it was probably one of my favorite weeks in the field, there's just
too much to talk about. We're helping people get closer to God! Is there anything
better than that? Have a great week everyone and remember: "when ye are in
the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God"
and as "ye have done it unto one of the least … ye have done it unto
[Him]"(Mosiah 2:17, Matthew 25:40). Serve!
Yours truly,

I'm kidding it wasn't that tough. It was just awesome to find it 200 miles from
the nearest Buc-ee’s
