So lets see, We went out Thomasing again and found a couple of new
investigators who seem really promising, mostly a girl name Lucia and
her family. They are hispanic, which I have a real quick funny story
about that!
We were introducing the BoM to her and mentioned how it was her
ancestors and stuff, and Thomas catches on to what we do and uses it
himself alot so later that day we went to a black ladies house and after
talking for a bit he randomly asks "Do you have any indian blood in
you?"... HAHA WHAT?! oh thomas... he's a goober and a half but it's all
good.
I Don't know if i ever mentioned him before but we have a guy we
talk to who likes to be called "Lightning!" he's this old black guy
with a Huge underbite and is super funny. Anyhow, he ran away.... he
lived with his son who we are teaching, and he ran away!!! NOOO! I
loved lightning! he was always a highlight to our day!
Oh hey! Cameron, i was just now informed that someone in my
trainer's MTC district is in your district right now! Elder sooter or
something around that?
Also in other news, Taylor swift's Bodyguard is getting baptized!
Someone in this mission is going to baptize him! so that was kinda
cool i thought.
Now for the reason of the subject of this letter...
On Friday we were riding our bikes down this big ol' hill, Not
like steep or anything just really long. So we get some serious speed
going down this thing and people here are dopes and put their garbage
cans in the middle of the sidewalks that are already barely there, so
Elder Freeze zooms by it Barely missing it. Here I come with a bigger
bike thinking i can shoot the gap too, (which i didn't go into the road
because i would've crashed for sure if i had tried cause of how the
sidewalk is situated) but alas my handlebar catches the garbage can and
shoots me flying off the side of my bike. I land in the middle of the
road and luckily theres no cars in my lane of the 4 lane road, otherwise
i probably would've died. Somehow i landed on the inside of my right
knee as well as my lower back and hip... Anyways, so i crawl
patheticly back to the sidewalk after a few seconds of not being able to
breath in the middle of the road, and i hurt all over my right side.
its about this time that Elder Freeze shows back up... sheesh, it took
him forever. So he goes and retrieves my bike which was still in the
middle of the road. So i ride back the half mile to our appartment with
a dead knee and busted hip, not a fun ride as part of it was uphill.
So after we rest for a while i get up to see if I can go back out,
but my knee hurt like crap and i felt it and it felt like it was split,
which worried me. So I call the mission Dr. and he tells me it could be
a chip fracture and that i should stay off my legs for a few days and
if i have to get up to use crutches and such... He told me not to stay
at church for the whole 3 hours.... The heck?! i stayed anyway
though. I'm pretty much healed now though so it's all good
But my shirt got all ripped up and my belt got scratched real good as well as my backpack.
Ohp, Out of time!
Love yall
-Elder martin
