Hi family,

So this week on bike has been a crazy one. I did get a bike and it is permanently mine now. It is an old 80's racing bike with the skinniest tires I have ever seen. I have had to do a lot of tune up work on it but it is okay. If I die on my mission though it will be because of that bike ha ha. Elder Mackenzie was really lucky and because he is from Kenya the mission bought him a brand new bike to use. A missionary that went home gave me his bike to have so that is how I got this one. I can go super super fast on it though. My brakes don't really work though so I have to kinda start braking really far before I need to stop lol.

We found a new investigator. He watched the mormon southpark episode and was really curious about it so he referred himself on mormon.org and we went over. He read all of 1 Nephi in one day and loved it. He has a date for the 8th of Dec. We are super excited for him. His name is Jeramie, he is kinda of a stoner dude but wants to make a change in his life so that is why we are here.

The Rodriguez family are doing really good. We had a good lesson with them. They want to be baptized, they are just having a hard time. They don't want to read or go to all of church. We are still trying to help them quit coffee. It is tough, sometimes you wish you could make them choose the right choices haha. But that would defeat the purpose.

Our other investigator Mili is playing hookie with us and we haven't seen her for two weeks now. We are worried about her. We hope to see her soon.

Other then that I am doing good. I could use some batteries though. AA and AAA. being on bike again I use my CD player a lot to play my CDs. Can't wait for your CD your sending me mom. Thank you guys for everything. I love you so much. I am super busy down here especially on bike so sorry if this e-mail is short.

Connor
