Hola mis guapos amigos y familia!

Wow, this week has been a crazy week! There has been a lot that has
happened.... Well to make my letter that much more interesting.... I
shall share my experiences on  my bike..... Yeah get some popcorn.

Before I share with you all about my biking adventures, I just want to
remind you all of what I said last week.... Remember when I said that
I haven't crashed yet? I straight up jinxed myself. I mean I seriously
knew at that point when I said those words that I jinxed myself. So,
to keep you all from being withheld from the adventures that I had, I
shall begin my story:

Entonces, when mi compañero y yo fuimos biking back home to go teach a
lesson, we were going down a road called Stillwater Road. On this
road, there is a blind corner when you are on the sidewalk. So, I'm
following behind Elder Bailey (as a side note, Elder Bailey is a boss
at riding bikes... Like a straight up boss.) and then I see him all of
a sudden go into the road right as we are reaching the blind corner...
I slowed down to be cautious. And as I did that, I came around the
corner, still going a good speed, but I see a thug (yes a thug) just
pumping and going hard in the paint on his bike (too white to say that
phrase but I use it a lot here) and he wasn't looking where he was
going. So I yelled, "Look out!" But he didn't here me so I tried my
hardest to avoid him but he was in the way soooooooo..... I nailed
him. I don't mean like I barely hit him and then we walked away
happy.... Naw, I straight up NAILED him! As we collided, my helmet hit
his face, and our front tired were turned into Flintstone tires. Good
thing there was a gate because I was thrown back a little and I used
the gate to help me stay on the bike and I grabbed him so that he
wouldn't be hit by a car that passed by us! Anyways, I hit him and I
was like:

"I'm sorry!"
He was like, "Naw dawg is awl good." As he grabbed his mouth.
I said to him, "Hey smile, I want to see if your teeth are all good,"
He smiles and then, I say, "No you still look pretty!" That made him
chuckle hahah. But anyways, my faithful comp finally comes back and
sees the accident, and as we left the man, my comp just had to say
this... "I hope we don't run into you again!"

Yeah, fail! Hahah ok now the second story! So then two days later, we
borrowed a bike from the other elders in our district. Elder Bailey
took the BMX bike that they gave us to use and I used his bike to go
back to our house from soccer in the morning.... So a little side
note, Remember how I said Elder Bailey was a boss at riding bikes?
Yeah, I meant it! The Elder doesn't have rear brakes but he has really
good front brakes.... Yeah at this time, I totally forgot about
that.... Anyways, back to the story. So I'm biking in the parking lot
and a car decides to pull out so what did I do? That's right, I
squeezed that front brake. Now I wasn't going fast enough to go over
the handle bars, but I was going fast enough to have the locked front
tire to slide and me to lose my balance so that I drilled my chin on
the asphalt. Now I would like you all to imagine asphalt, or if you
want, go outside and look at it. Notice how it's all rough? Yeah now
imagine what it would do to flesh... Sorry bad visual but it happened.
I had to get ten stitches.... Yeah I had a second mouth.... I would
send the pic but it is really bad, so if you want to see it, ask and
ye shall receive.

Ok now to actual missionary work, soooooooo nothing to report why?
Because Elder Bailey and I have to go to a bunch of Zone
Conferences.... Yeah he is teaching everyone how to make inspired
posts.... You have seen some of them because of me. Hahah I know they
are great! We have more in store for you. And if you all can, please
share them. We do these posts to help spread the gospel so por favor,
share the post! Gracias!

We are working hard with Johana and she will be baptized soon! We
asked Li (the first person I taught) to be baptized and he said
yes!!!!! So excited for these people to accept this gospel.

Alright well I wish I could share more but my comp and I have been so
busy with conferences. But I will share more next week! I love you all
and I hope you are all being safe and are having a great mission,
school experience, wherever you are, have a great time! Para siempre
dios esté con voz!
