Finally Putting Some Milage on my Bike!

Well here in Braun Heights we roll differently than other missionaries. We be rolling on bikes.
They see us rollin, they hatin and we be rollin cuz we are missionaries! Elder Gray was trained by Elder Morrin as well so we are brothers! He knows this area really well and has helped me learn a lot.He has had great desires to better himself so that he can help others and has been a great example these last few weeks!
This week we have had a few great lessons with our main man Travis Anderson. He loves coming out with us and teaching with us, it is great!! We had a lesson with Jacob this week and  he has concerns about his father(member) and he is concerned about what everyone else thinks. We talked to him about the story of the Prodigal son and it seemed to help a little bit. It is super hard because his wife is against it( for now at least) and so we are slowly working him towards baptism. As well we had a great lesson with a guy named JR who has parents who are members, but he can not be baptized till he takes care of some parole issues. But he is going to watch general Conference so we are excited for that!! On Sunday I got to teach gospel principles to 16 other people (4 were non members, no pressure haha) and It was on the Word of Wisdom. We then had a lesson with a excommunicated member who wants to come back. She has a son who is a Deacon and is so spiritually in tune it is so cool!! We just have to get permission to teach her and help her quit smoking. But otherwise she is willing to work for it :) 
I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to serve here in Texas and to have the knowledge that I have. I can not wait to here the Prophet speak this upcoming weekend and to here what our leaders have to say :) I love y'all and I hope this week is great!
sorry no pictures again :( the computer at the library stinks.
