New Area!

Well I am now in Braun Heights riding a bike every day.. :) so much fun!!! My new companion is Elder Gray and he is pretty cool, soft spoken and is from Montana. The last few days since I have been here have been really interesting to say the least. To start, first day I get sent up to Austin for transfers because Elder Mclean was getting his companion there. Then I drive all the way back to San Antonio to get picked up haha Elder Gray has a lesson set up with a potential investigator and  so we get back to the apartment and get on our bikes. We find him raking leaves outside and we start talking to him and then he starts focusing in on me and we get into what salvation is and it started to get really frustrating to say the least. Then he stops and says "well are y'all hungry?" and I am so confused and then he shakes my hand and tells me he is the Elders Quorum President and and then he goes and gets changed to take us to dinner. So I got played my first day haha!!

 Another experience which involves the bike. We were going to get our bikes tuned up by a guy that said he would do it for free and on our way there we were going down this hill that Elder Gray had warned me about and that there is this low hanging branch that will hit you if you don't get low enough. Not only did I not get low enough but it was a foot thick trunk.  So there is 4 of us going down the hill and I duck and I thought that i was low enough, but it clipped my backpack and so I get pushed down to my right side and I slide across the side walk and scrape my hand a little bit and get my shoulder all dirty. Thankfully the dirt came off and that I only got a scrape haha :)

Now for the spiritual part. We had a lesson with a man named JR whose parents are members and so we read Mosiah 4 with them and talked about General Conference coming up (so excited!!!) As well we had a man named Jacob come to church and he wants to be baptized. His parents are also members but he was never baptized and so he wants to change and do that. As well We had a lesson with a lady whose parents are members and her son is, but she removed from the church. But she has the desire to be baptized and we read Joseph Smith History with her and she really liked it. Her son is 12 and is really in tune with the spirit, it was incredible :)

I love y'all and hope this week is awesome!!!! Hasta luego!!! :) P.S. I sm trying to figure out this apple computer so I do not know how to upload pictures. Next week though!!
