My turn to have a bike accident

This week it was my turn to have a bike accident. I kind of accidentally used the front brakes (just remember that in 13 months of riding a bike in my mission, I've never had an accident) and I flew over the handlebars. It was right in front of the church that I fell, in front of all the young men, who were going to play soccer. So they all laughed at me. The funny part was that the bike landed and stayed standing up, as if we were going to change a flat tire or somehting. Anyway I had a couple bruises and scratches and my shoulder hurt so I've been wearing a sling whenever I feel like it.

This week me and my companion got hit by a bug and we were stuck inside all day on Thursday. We tried to get out and work but we always had to go running back. But now everything's under control. Don't worry. 

We have seen lots of little miracles and we are having good success. Yesterday, Lalo had his first baptism. He baptized his niece, Daniela. I think he was a little nervous but he did a great job and was very happy. I was asked to sing again, and ended up singing the same song as last week. I sent you the picture.

On Saturday, we ran into Sergio, an older man. He called out to us "Hey, why don't you say a prayer for me?" We stopped and started talking to him, he invited us to his house, and we started talking. He said that four years ago he'd read the Bible of Mormon and the Pearl of Great Price. He said that one time an Elder gave him a blessing and healed his arm. He said he wants to get baptized for the remission of sins, the way Christ was baptized. We extended a baptismal date and explained that we're going to be teaching him some things to help him prepare.  He came to church, met the bishop, made some friends, and then came to Daniela's baptism. It was a miracle for us. And we are super excited to work with him. 

Anyway. Thanks for the birthday wishes! I'll send you fotos next week if I can. 21................ woah.
