Biking through bugs at top gear

This week has been a crazy week. Oh boy. So crazy. It started off a pretty solid week. We've been doing more finding as we've been weeding out our investigators. But we got 5 new ones!! So that was pretty decent if I say so myself! We needed it. I was feeling a little dry after none last week. So we're back on top!

Our progressing investigators are.... dramatic... hahaha I don't know why I always get the ones with issues. Like pretty crazy issues. D- has been in and out of the hospital again. But we went and visited him and he really appreciated  it. And we finally got in touch with E-! She'd been ignoring our calls all week but she had missed us. Its super hard though because she won't progress until she's out of her living situation. But we're going to keep in contact with her and help as much as we can. F- is still doing good. He's the best ever. We read with him every morning and he reads each chapter twice and he's always trying to read in his spare time. Its just his wife but we're working on her. C- and G- have been tricky to meet with this week. We rescheduled like 3 times with them. 

Ok let's talk about Thursday. Yeet. So we had district meeting down in Vero beach and our car was doing weird things. Whenever we tried to accelerate it would kinda start slipping. It was funky. So afterwards we took it to the autoshop and they said it was a problem with the transmission and we had to take it to the dealership. So we drive up there and after waiting a bit they tell us they have to completely replace the transmission. Ahhhhhh so that means no car for us. But we had some really cool experiences at the dealership. God definitely wanted us to be there. In the waiting room we're talking to Jennifer  and she starts asking us some questions and we have a super good gospel discussion! She was very pensive the whole time and said she would ponder on what we told her. We got her phone number. Then the guy who shuttles us home is a former investigator!!! I'd totally talked to him on the phone before. It was crazy! He still wasn't interested but God put him in our path for a reason. Anyways then we didn't have a car and we had a referral appointment at the south of our area then dinner and we had no way to get down there. We called a ton of members but none of them could so we called our zone leaders for advice and they said to pray. So we prayed and mid prayer a member calls us with another member we should try and that member could! So we finally got down there and talked to this sweet Creole family and gave them a Book of Mormon and got 2 new investigators out of it. So it was a solid day.

Friday was another crazy story. Oh boy. So we are inside all day planning because weekly planning takes five-ever!! And all of our appointments cancelled. And I was just frustrated with everything. Then we need to get to dinner and our ride can't pick us up. And no other members answered the phone or could help us out. And it's the one set appointment we have with a less-active family and we really want to get there. So we tell the elders we need their car and luckily they're still at their apartment planning so they told us to bike over. My bikes a little out of shape from not being ridden for 2 months and it won't shift down any gears! So I'm riding on top gear to the elders apartment and we're like already 15 minutes late. As were riding we go through like THOUSANDS of gnats. I'm literally blind. I ate at at least 10. We finally get to their apartment coated in bugs! We get the car and then we hit rush hour traffic. So... We were an hour late to our appointment. But the family still wasn't even ready to eat. So all was well. Guess what I made my daily goal? "Patience" lols. But I did learn a lot and was able to laugh through it because sometimes that's all you can do.

yep, Florida is wet!
