So this week was a long week. on monday we came and emailed and were half way done with emailing and we got locked out of the Family History center, so then we had to wait for one hour till the zone leaders came to play basketball with us and four other missionaries. We played basketball all day and it was a super good workout! i love basketball! The members are super good at feeding us! but most of them are from Utah and moved here haha. Tuesday we did a lot of biking around contacting referals! and i wrecked pretty hard on my bike! haha stinking bikes, but its alot better than walking!  but Tuesday was a super horrible day, we both had a hard time feeling the spirit. Wednesday that morning we found out why tuesday sucked, we broke the word of wisdom. by drinking this protein shake that had the extract of coffee bean in it. we had service at the Ronald McDonald home. And did a lot of finding today. Thursday, we we did weekly planning then we went to the bottom of our area that is about 10 mile round trip. i was super tired! Friday, We we had District meeting. We had district lunch at Hugh Jass Burgers. they are super good! and there was a lot of beer served in that restaurant! then we drove through the college campus and Elder caskey did a drifting stop and i was super close and i hit is tire and i was going pretty good. and i got ejected from my bike and hit running! it was an insane wreck and i missed a pole by three feet when i was running trying to save myself. it was awesome!!! then Elder Caskey fell over, then we chased squirrels in the campus and Elder Caskey and Elder Lowry hit one it was crazy! then we went and had dinner at the Piepgrass's they are from Canada! They are super cool! and We ate Pork burritos!!! just like the cafe rio one! ive had that meal like 10 times!! im loving this food! but wow has my stomach shrunk! and then they had us take our belts off at the dinner table to show them how our missionary belts work. Saturday, so today was a lot of tracting. and we had dinner with a member and a lesson with an investigator. and the investigator left early!  and didn't come back like he said he was going to!! So we went to try some different people while waiting. and they weren't home but as we were leaving they pulled up and so we flipped around and went and talked with them and set up an appointment for this coming thursday! im excited! Sunday we didn't have any investigators come, :( but we did see come less actives afterwards! and had dinner with a member! so over all this week was pretty great! 

Sincerely,
