TEMPLE TRIP!!!! WOOO and then #bikeprobs

So the highlight of this week was that we got to go to the Temple!!! Wahoo!!! I just love the temple! I am will be so grateful when I can go any time I want to! Y'all are so blessed to be able to go whenever you want to! Don't take it for granted! Of course, only being able to go every 6 months gives me an even greater appreciation for the temple so that's a blessing. 

The only downside of going to the Temple is that Satan works SO hard. Seriously, it's a struggle. This week I decided he tried to get to me through my bike. So a while back my bike pedal fell off. I took and got it fixed, well on Wednesday it fell off again and so that evening was a struggle because I had to ride Elder Westberg's bike and his bike is no bueno. So then on Thursday we took it Guadalupe's and her son Luis put it back on. Well, not even an hour later it had fallen off again. #thestruggle

So then we went to the temple on Friday and this is what happened: we got back to the house and quickly ate dinner. It's like 6:45 and we had an appointment with someone at 7 so we had to ride over there. So I grab Elder W's bike and we head out. Well, I rode like 15 feet and this bug flew in my eye so I had to stop to get it out. BUT the bike brakes on that bike are way to good so I stopped really fast and well, yep I fell off. But hey, no harm done. Just scraped up my hand and knee a tiny bit. Then that darn bug was still in my eye so we went back to get it out and clean up my battle wounds and I had locked the keys in the house! I about cried because of all of that happening in less than 10 minutes. Well anyway, long story short we got a spare key from the Elders and got in and it was fine. Although we didn't make it to the appointment till an hour later because we had to wait for a ride because it was too far to walk and Elder W's bike was busted. And then he basically dropped us so that was a struggle. It was a rough night. No bueno things always seem to happen around temple time! 

But esta bien the Branch President and his wife came and picked us up yesterday and took us and our bikes to their house and he fixed mine and Elder W's bike! Wahoo he is the best!!! Also, we had the car that day but the Elders borrowed it and when they brought it back it was basically out of gas and the Collins were still there and we were talking to the Elders about whether we should go get gas on the Sabbath because we had a set appointment that was pretty far away. So we kept talking about it and the Elders were like, "Just pray about it." But then Sister Collins was like, "How about I just drive you where you need to go! Then you don't have to worry about breaking the Sabbath and you will make your appointment." Oh man she is just the greatest mission mom. Life saver!!!

Beth says she doesn't want to be baptized or come to church. She just wants to keep reading the Book of Mormon. And she says she believes the Book of Mormon is true. She was even praying at the end of the lesson and she prayed about it and she said, "Now that I think about it, I do think it's true." We're going to have to work on what that means! She just really loves her preacher she watches on TV and she's "not comfortable" going....but she's never come! Oh the struggle. 

We met this super awesome guy who's really searching for peace. He just kept saying that he doesn't like living in a world where there seems to be no peace. We just testified a bunch of how the gospel brings peace and blesses our lives and he seemed to be interested! We are going back tonight! Well, not me because we are going on exchanges today through tomorrow. I get to be in Paducah! It will be a blast! :)

Michelle Aalders, I might have told you about her but she we went back to see her and she had put the pictures from the Resto pamphlet in her window! Including the one of Joseph Smith in the first vision! She couldn't meet with us but she said she was reading the Book of Mormon! Cool! She's gonna get baptized! :)
