I Crashed My Bike!

We were riding back from our church building on a bike trail that leads to our apartment.  We stopped and talked to a guy about the Book of Mormon for a little bit.  The only problem was he made us late for our dinner appointment.  So we were riding back to the apartment as fast as we could.  When we got to the apartment I went to ride up the steps like I always do, but this time I hit them going a little too fast.  Long story short I made it up to the first step successfully.  The second one I didn't pop my front tire up quick enough and I planted it.  It sent me over the handlebars.  With some expert crash maneuvering, I managed to just tumble and roll and I was just fine.  We were also only 5 minutes late for our meal appointment!

About 2 months ago we helped some nonmembers move.  We got a call from their friend that is a member saying that they needed help again.  We helped them move on Tuesday, and come to find out they had all the big stuff this time, like pianos and dressers.  We were really missing Elder Pancheri on this one.  Somehow some way me and Elder Anderson single handily moved a piano all by our selves.  Don't know how we did it we definitely had some angels lifting with us.  The awesome part was they accepted a copy of the book of Mormon and they both asked for a blessing!  It was really cool getting to give a nonmember a blessing. They offered to take us to Texas Roadhouse on Tuesday.  We are going to be enjoying some good food tomorrow night!

On Saturday we drove down to Mason to work for the day.  We started with stopping by Jason because we have had a hard time getting in contact with him.  He ended up being home and we talked for a little bit tried to set something up but he was pretty busy the next week and we couldn't get something set up.  Elder Anderson ended up asking him if we could help him with some farm chores around the farm.  He ended up saying yes.  We brought a pair of service clothes just in case so we changed and we went out and helped him cut wood for 2 hours.  It ended up being really good we were able to talk about the gospel and some of his concerns.   He actually ended up knowing some members of the ward already.  Which was a major perk! 

We implemented our lesson calendar this last week and it ended up working out really well.  We put the emphasis on the lesson part of meal appointments and lessons with members.  The 3 or 4 we had this last week went really well we were able to talk to members about how to be member missionaries.  Since we have done this lesson calendar we have had some great appointments with members and we have already had 1 or 2 referrals from it!  So be member missionaries!

We taught this really cool guy this week named Robert.  We knocked into him about 2 weeks ago and he told us to come back.  Elder Anderson stopped by him on trade offs and taught him the restoration.  We taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  It was an amazing lesson the spirit was so strong.  Its amazing what the spirit can do for you when you prepare for a lesson!
