Time is flying

Hi!

So you ask for adventures? I don't really have any adventure stories. The only adventures that I can think of right now is my bike accidents. Spiritual experiences and things while reading the scriptures...I don't really remember any because I don't write them down. :( I really hate myself for not doing that and not writing in my journal. But I am in Alma chapter 30 something or 40 something.

I'll try to start writing. There are just a lot of things around the apartment that are distracting. haha for some reason I have become so accident prone since coming on my mission. The stake is renting some houses for missionaries because some apartment contracts are almost up. They also want some missionaries such as my companion and I to try to find a member to house us. Some missionaries are going to live in the rented homes and some in with members. It's kind of complicated.

Happy Birthday Mom and Drew!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Guess what?! I get to burn a tie next month! Did I tell you that? The reason is that on your 6 month mark an Elder burns a tie, your year mark you burn a shirt, if you do anything on your 18 month mark I don't know what it is. Maybe a pair of slacks. And on you 2 year mark you burn a suit. I'm excited. Time is just flying by.

New Bike

Hi,

The bike is good, I didn't have to buy a bike because a member bought one for me! My butt is really sore from riding. Probably because I am not used to riding a bike. The one I have is pretty good. I'll get a pictures and send it to you next week. I didn't think about taking one.  So here's the story about my bike. The days may be wrong but that doesn't really matter. So, I was using an old elders bike that was in terrible condition. One brake didn't work and then on Thursday the other one completely busted and the seet cushion ripped. So a member that we had lunch with on Wednesday offed to fix it. We gave it to him and I used one of the ZLs bike. He called us on Friday to tell us that the bike was fixed. We biked to his house to find a brand new bike in the drive way! I thanked him so much.

I was diagnosed with bronchitis, but it is doing much better.  And, yes, I crashed my bike.  The story behind it is that our phone was ringing an Elder L. stoped to see who it was and I was going to fast and I wasn't able to stop in time. And I tried to swerve but I couldn't and we crashed. My front brakes are messed up and my front tire is slightly bent. I will have to take it to the shop. I'll try to be more carefull.

Love,

Elder Brown
