So world, this week we had an adventure. It was transfers, and I didn't leave my companion, or my area, but we did leave our car... Yes, we no longer have a car...
We got some bikes though! Good news is, Elder Smith took off four pounds this week, and I took off two and a half pounds! And that was with having two Thanksgiving dinners! So I say we are doing pretty good! Haha!
Well, it rained this week. It was... an adventure. Lets call it that! Neither of us had highly functioning brakes at the time either, which made it super exciting! (No worries, we are in the process of fixing that) But needless to say, we were soaked. So, it was a fun week! {love his positive attitude!!}
Ok, so biking/investigator story. We still don't have a very good idea of how long it takes to get to places, which is exciting! But, story time. So it was about 7:30, and Elder Smith and I both felt we should visit V. So, we hopped on our bikes and rode away! We visited with V, and there was actually a member, Sister Middlemiss, already there! So it was great. We definitely needed to be there. We recieved revelation on what we needed to teach her, and everything worked perfectly. She actually called us and left a message saying that us riding to her house was one of the most special things anyone has done for her. So it was great! Riding bikes really is a blessing. I actually read one of Elder Sant's emails on how he got put on bikes and he compared that to hard times being benificial. So true Elder Sant!! Biking=Blessings, or in others cases trials=blessings. We've just got to turn to God, and endure. He definitely knows what He is doing.
This week we also met with a guy named T. We found him at a bus stop, and we were finally able to set up a time to meet with him! So, the lesson went so well. We talk him the Restoration, and he said he would read the Book of Mormon and pray about it. Haha, Elder Call (my 5th cousin twice removed, Bowen) had a similiar experience and said something like, whoa, that easy?? Which is exactly how I feel! So the Lord blesses us!
So, hop on the bike and head on your way!
The Lord loves us and wants the best for us. We've just got to do our part and put our trust in Him and do what he asks of us. And, if we do, He is so willing to bless us. He is there right by our side helping us along. I can't deny that. He loves us so much! {love!!!}
The Church is true!
Love,
Elder Call
{and a few added notes from him...}
Sorry, I need to do a better job with pictures. Goal for the week!! We'll get some pictures of us on our bikes and all that other good stuff. I love you mom!!
I have the best family ever!! Just sayin'
Love you all!! You are the best!
Anything I need to know to help you out in any way?? {my question to him}
Hm... not really! You are doing all the things that make me happy! Like emails, letters, sending pictures, and praying for me. So thanks!! {thanks to all of the many friends and family who write Elder Call!!!!}
