Ok so this week was great...it started off bomb last sunday then got bad then got good. So last sunday we were tracking and got to teach this 32 year old black guy named J.R. and it was such a spiritual lesson. Everything flowed perfectly and he understood everything and we left him with the Book of Mormon to read 3rd Nephi chapter 11 and he was pumped to read and pray about it. When we left he said we could stop by his step moms house and see if she would let her teach her the same lesson but she was in our zone leaders area so we told them to go see her and they did and they said some other missionaries went and shared a message about jesus christ with her step son J.R. and he said that she might want to hear it too and she wasnt interested which was fine but the next day when we were supposed to go back and meet with J.R. again. He called us and said that we offended his step mom and that he didnt want anything to do with us. It was really wack. I talked to the zone leaders that visited her and they said she was really nice and polite and just said she wasnt interested. So it was really weird to hear that from him. I tried to apologize to him and say we werent trying to offend her in anyway. but he said to never come by his house or call him again...soooo we were super bummed about that b/c he seemed so legit to teach and progress with but oh well that happens i guess. Then we were just busy all week trying to find people to teach and didnt have much luck but yesterday on sunday it was pouring rain ALLLLLLL day. When it rains here, its off the hook. Its just huge sheets of rain constantly. its pretty sweet. I guess its suppose to rain alllll week. im stoked for it. i love the rain. its so much fun being on bikes too. Yesterday my companion, Elder Davis, took an awesome fall haha we were riding on this brand new slick pavement and he didnt even turn sharp but his front tire slipped out from under him and he slid on his stomach on the pavement. i was directly behind him so i just watched the whole thing haha. it was hilarious. Remeber that part in Dumb and Dumber where they get that bad guy at the restuarant to eat that hamburger full of hot tamales and he starts choking and falls to the floor and how jim carry just points at him and laughs really hard....Well i did the exact same thing hahaha i started crying it was so funny. Im glad i can relate my companion bike crash to my favorite movie haha. Then after he fell he was fine and we went and tracted some more and was able to teach this guy named Frankie. he looks like hes about 30 years old. Single and seems to be well off. We taught him the first lesson and he liked it alot and said he was feeling the spirit which was bomb. He said his mom used to be mormon but converted to catholic when his parents got married. Hes been to church a few time growing up with some LDS friends so he knows a little about the church. We left him with a book of mormon and a chapter to read and he wants us to come over on wednesday and teach him somemore. Were gonna try and get him to church this sunday. He has a sweet 2007 Subaru WRZ STI. Its so sick. Hopefully he will give us a ride to church in it when he comes haha but he seems to be a solid investigator so far. Pray for him please. But ive been liftin hard at our little gym in our apartment complex every P-day So im loving that. oh and the zone leaders have been coming over and playing tennis with us at the tennis courts in our complex every p-day too. I own them haha they cant handle my serve and back hand haha So thats alot of fun. Anyways i hope all is well and you guys can write me back if you want to show some love hahaha jk but i love you all very much......peace out
