The
weather here has been CRAZY!!! And by that I mean that it has only rained once,
and it was just some evening drizzling, in the whole month of June. That never
happens in England. Everyone is kind of freaking out about it. I've been in
England over three months now and I still think people's accents are really
cool--although I'm definitely more used to it now than I was a few months
ago. This week I will hit my four months as a missionary mark. Thats crazy!
We saw
some cool miracles this week. One was yesterday afternoon. Elder Baker has a
fancy racing bike. But he hit a crack or something and burst his tube.
so we pulled over and he set to patching his tube. It took FOREVER because
he had to do it three times before it worked properly. So we
proceeded on to where we were going I was riding my bike and this guy
yelled at me from down the street, "Hey Elder!" So I stopped. Because
people don't usually talk to us. It can be hard to get people to talk to us. So
if someone decides of their own free will to talk us, we will most certainly
stop. I waited for him to walk over to me and for my companions to catch
up. As he walked up I could see he was totally covered in tattoos. He
said, "I'm a Mormon too, I just haven't been going recently because I have
been in the ICU and stuff...But I want to start coming to church again."
So he gave us his phone number and we are going to see him on Tuesday. (he was
baptised a couple years ago--we were able to find his teaching record in
our flat). If Elder Baker hadn't gotten a puncture, we wouldn't have run
into him. It sounds cliche, but remember everything happens for a reason...even
flat tires.
I love
you all.
