Hello family and friends!!!
We are sitting right under an AC and my fingers are
freezing, I have no idea why they have the AC on so high, it is so nice
outside. Kentuckians freak out about the weather. Anyway, if my letter
is shorter, that is why, I am wussing out and my fingers are frozen.
Anyway, this last week was good.
I am getting into things
well with the bike, I am not really having any issues, there are quite a
few hills here in Lex. but I haven't had any problems with them yet. If
anything it is a good cardio workout.
This last wednesday we had a lot of rain and we were riding around
in the rain for a bit so I got a little sick. That affected us for a
little bit, not much, just didn't ride home one night, we took the bus,
but I had to fight through it a little bit. We also work out at nights
and so all of that included wore me out, but I feel much better now, so
it shouldn't be an issue now.
We are getting into the part of the year where the weather is the
best, so that is exciting. What isn't exciting is that because there was
a mild winter here last year and then a really bad summer, they are
predicting a really bad winter as well. Apparently ice storms are pretty
common here, so that is always fun news to hear when more than likely I
will be here during the worst winter months. On a bike.
Whatever.
This last week Satan has been working really hard
against us. We had a lot of people ready to come to church, but then one
person, who doesn't usually work on Sundays, had to work. Another guy,
who always had sundays off, couldn't come because his work changed his
schedule on friday so now he works on Sundays, and then our most solid
couple, he got a new job where he doesn't have to work on Sunday.
Another gator who had a date completely disappeared from us as well, so
that is frustrating. I don't really know how to look at it though. It is
either Satan making them work on Sunday or God blessing them with more
work, I don't know. Whatever the case, we have to overcome all of that.
We did have a cool experience. We were biking to another area and
out of no where e. castaneda turned down an alley. About halfway down a
guy hollered at us and told us to stay there, he was coming down. So he
came out and told us that all of his family, in Mexico, are mormon. He
used to go to church all the time with them down there, but he hasn't
been doing that now because he has lived in the states for 14 years. He
is not a member though. Yet. We are really hopeful for him. Later,
castaneda told me that he just felt like we needed to go down there, so i
am really thankful for the spirit.
And then last night we were biking around, pretty late, and talking
to people, and we stopped this guy and started talking to him. He really
didn't like Mormons. I learned a lot of new Spanish swear words. After a
few minutes though a cop pulled up and took him away, obviously for
something unrelated. But, that's what happens when you mess with
missionaries I guess.
We are planning on working way harder this week and being more smart
in our work as well. We just need to outwork Satan. Apparently he has a
P-Day on Mondays too, so we are pretty safe for these next few hours.
But, once 6 comes, BAM, we're baptizing.
We are doing well here, tell my friends to stop getting married.
I love you all!
Zac
