The brownies were actually really good. None of us finished
so we tried it again just to say we finished it. It really didn’t make me sick
at all. Well, transfers happen this Thursday. I am staying in Norfolk as a
district leader, but my companion, Elder Long, is leaving. I get to train a new
missionary... again. Other than that this week was pretty good. We met with our
investigator Josh and taught him the Plan of Salvation. After we taught him, we
asked if he had any questions and he said, nope you pretty much answered every
question I could ever have, I feel like I have meaning to things I am doing in
my life right now. Pretty much the most amazing experience ever! That was a
really good lesson. Then last Sunday we were out visiting a less active family
and on the way to the door this lady said she was from the church too. We
talked to her for a little and found out she hasn’t been to church in 7 years
but wants to come back. So we met with her again and she has such strong
desires to get back on the path. Life’s been hard on her but the one thing she
said she realized is that she always sees the church come back no matter how
bad life gets. Missionary work is pretty awesome sometimes. That’s really about
it, it’s been a really good week. Love ya.

Oh ya funny story I forgot to tell. Let me preface this by
saying that my companion and I are both fine, not a scratch on us. Plus we didn’t
even rip our pants. Elder Long and I were riding our bikes to a dinner
appointment on Wednesday, I was in front of him. In Norfolk the sidewalks are
kind of dumb, sometimes they have the nice little ramps on them when they end,
and sometimes there is just a curb that drops off. So we are riding and we go
down one of the side walk ramps and cross a little side street. And logic would
say that since the sidewalk we just rode down had a ramp that the sidewalk we
were about to ride up would also have such a ramp. Logic doesn’t exist in the
south... SO midway thru the street I notice that this giant curb is in my way
so I squeeze my brake levers to stop a little so I can jump up on it. Elder
Long didn’t see me stop... so he runs full speed into the back of me and my
bike and we end up on the sidewalk in a pile of bike and missionary. It was
super funny, we stayed on the sidewalk for a good 5 minutes just laughing. The
only thing that happened from this wreck is that I bent my handle bars, but
luckily in the apartment there was a random set. And perfectly fine, not sore
or anything so it’s all good :)
