I like to ride my bike cycle

Hi family
thanks for writing me it makes my week. hands down the funnest thing
we do on pday is email our family. better than biking or hiking or
playing games. you guys are the best and mean the most to me.
so you got my package that's good. i didn't know how many stamps to
put on it so i just put all that i have. apparently it was enough. so
the song i was singing on the tape me and elder robb and robbison made
it up! great right! i love playing the uke it brings me great joy.
did you  get elder dalias letter? he finally payed me to write Lauren.
(sucker) so try to at least right him back once.
but the rest of the week was good. Monday a family in the ward let me
barrow there guitar for pday. it was really great to get back to me
roots. the uke is a really fun instrument to play but you can do so
much more with the guitar. im glad that i can play both.
Tuesday we had a apartment inspection from the elder and sister luke.
we cleaned our butts off and the apartment still looked like crap. so
there going to move us to a newer place. because the sink leaks the
shower sucks the walls are banged up. there is rats in the ventilation
system. but hey we at least have a place to live hot water, AC, beds,
heating, lighted and bikes to get around. when ever life gets me down
i just say count your many blessings name them one by one. so the
lukes gave us an assignment to get a new place to live.
so on Wednesday we looked all over town for a nice cheap place to
live. a couple of the places were we looked at were super cool and
super crazy.  like the first one that we looked at was a 100 year old
hotel that was converted into apartments. babe ruth used to stay at
the hotel when it was new. the next place we looked at was a little
apartment that was above an artifact and antique store. we went into
the store and it was the kind of place that you would find a magical
object. or discover some great secret. (Ive read to many fantasy
books) the next place was an old school that has old class rooms that
you could stay in.  that place was super cool really big apartments.
and wide halls. but we made all kinds of jokes to the lady and she was
not very happy. like when does first period start? and do i need a
hall pass to go to the bathroom? and what grade point average do i
need to keep to join the football team? needless to say she was sick
of us by the time we were through.
on Thursday we rode our bikes alot.  i have put like 400 miles on my
bike in 8 weeks. thats like a fifty mile bike ride each week. my  legs
are getting big. but anyways we were riding our bike and we came to a
dead end and there was a water drainage system with big cement sides
and steep walls. so there was a little ramp to get into it so we
started riding our bikes in there. we road for about five hundred
yards and there was a tunnel. so we went into it and it got super
dark. and we did not see a light at the end of the tunnel. elder dalia
was freaking freaken his pants so because i wanted to see a big
football player scared i just kept riding so he had to follow me. i
turned on my light on the bike and we road through this tunnel it felt
like for 20 minutes. then we turned around because i got scared there
was going to be some homeless guy down there.
friday we went on exchanges with elder otuafi and charlesworth. i went
with otuafi in his area. he is such a cool guy just so chilax about
everything. i want to move to Tonga after the mission and just sit on
the beach in a bamboo hut and play the uke.
but we saw alot of people and one guy that we saw has like every
problem that you can imagine. and he just keep it on keeps it on, the
gospel really can make you have a happier life you just have to
realize it.
on Sunday we had stake conference. it was really good there was alot
of good talks really uplifting president and sister Taylor spoke about
helping the missionary out. but there was this one guy that just got
back form his mission a month ago and he spoke on how the gospel can
change people. and lets just say it gave me a great example of what
not to do or say in my home coming talk. he went about 15 minutes over
and he didn't say anything.
Sunday night we were trying to visit some people and no one was home.
so we were just about to leave and we saw a door open across  the
parking lot so we went over to talk to them and they slammed the door
when they saw us coming. so we just went to unlock our bikes and we
got the spiritual impression to go and talk to them. it was going to
be super awkward but we fear god more than man. so we knocked on there
door they answered and let us in. we prayed with them and told them
about the book of Mormon. it was super cool the spirit was awesomely
strong. and we are meeting with them again Wednesday.
well that's whats happen in my neck of the woods.
im sorry you guys were sick i hope you get better and remember that im
all ways praying for you. and if you need it ask your home teachers
for a priesthood blessing. encourage those youth to go on a mission we
need the missionary's out here. the lord is hastening his work so get
on it like blue bonnet.
i love you guys so much and i will talk you yall next week.
