We've had another good week here in Linstead. A week doesn't go by without some form of excitement. On Tuesday Elder Worley and I got our bikes stolen. We were teaching an investigator named Audrey at Sister Wallace's house and then left our bikes parked up behind her house while we went to visit another member just up the street. when we came back our bikes were gone. We walked home thinking we'd never see them again. On Wednesday, Sister Wallace and Audrey call us up and tell us to come to the police station because they had our bikes. They had seen these kids riding them and called the cops. Well, they were our bikes alright, but they didn't look like them. the kids that stole them scratched off all the paint and scrapped all the good parts off my bike. I can't complain though, it's still rideable for the most part - just needs some brakes. Friday they had an activity at the church where they watched 17 Miracles, that movie about the handcart companies. It was good, except I think it just confused our investigator that was there. We had a baptism yesterday for a 10 yr old girl named Leony. Her mother was recently reactivated and now we're working on the dad to get him baptized. We had good church meetings. It was branch conference so President Hendricks was there. We also had 2 of the referrals we contacted come to church. Vaughn, who was baptized 2 weeks ago, got called to be the Young Men's President. It's so good to see our recent converts getting involved.
I forgot to say last week that I did get the envelope for my birthday. Thank you for the SD cards and pictures and such. I was thinking about Christmas and what I needed to carry me to the end of my mission and I might need a 2 or 3 more shirts. Also, my insoles for my shoes are falling apart so I could probably use another set of them. Besides that I think I'm good.
Well, have a great week. Love y'all lots.
