So, TYRON
FINALLY CAME TO CHURCH!!!
He was
finally able to make it to church this week. only for an hour, but it's good
enough for jazz. With his cleaning business, he owns his own cleaning business,
and his other job for a company that goes out and helps people and businesses
save money he is a very busy bee. but on Saturday, we talked about keeping the
Sabbath day holy. and he was eating it up with a gold plated spoon. that's an
ice cream taste testing joke. modern marvels Ben and Jerry factory, SORRY. My
mind at work. anyway, I was sitting with the deacons to help pass the
sacrament, small ward, and I look back and he's sitting with elder Allen and Johnny
Phillips. I did I loud/silent fist pump. with loud/silent grunt. after the
sacrament, I went and sat with him during sacrament meeting and after, he was
really happy he'd came. (leads him down the hall, "and this is called a
baptismal font" pushes him in.) (nope sorry bad. free agency) so after the
service, a ton of ward members came up and introduced themselves to him and he
was like unto a celebrity. He then said that he had a little time left and
asked what else we do. we showed him the gospel principles class and he sat in
on half the lesson. baptism hoe!!!
I bought a new bike. I told Braden about it so you can read his email.
I bought
a new watch. that watch I stole from dad bit the dust. I hit the button for the
back light and it died. the battery is empty. and not easily accessible. so I
went to Walmart and bought a new watch.
this is
going to be a little bit of a short email cause we spent all morning driving to
Hermitage. and we haven't even done our shopping yet. and p day ends in an hour
and a half.
Love
all you, hope all is well,
-Elder Felix.
P.S. I didn't get an
email from you this week. try resending it
Dear Braden,
Thank you oh so much
for the advice on bikes. We just got back from hermitage an hour ago. When
we got to the bike shop, I just went blank. There were so many. I started
judging by color. then the price. Luckily one of the staff came and suggested
a bike. He pulled out a green one and started going through the specs.
After he was done he let me ride it around a little. It felt much better
than the old bike I'd been using. So we went back in and I told him I'd
take it. I then went through your emails to see if it had everything.
"29ers" check. Raleigh, check. 500 or 600 dollars, 709. cheaper
than the others. unfortunately, he tricked me into buying a helmet as well.
Mechanical disc brakes, disc brakes, check, mechanical, wait a minute did
he say hydraulic? Like car brakes? I then asked him if mechanical and
hydraulic disk brakes were the same. He then explained to me, no wires and
fluid. He then explained how hydraulic were actually better than
mechanical cause the wires would rust and the hydraulic system is completely
enclosed. It's at this point I'm thinking, what if the hose brakes/cracks,
how do I change the brakes? What kind of fluid is it? So I asked him to
which he replied, we have a lifetime service warranty included with the
bike and oil. So, we'll see how that goes. He also said that when it comes
time for me to go home, I can go get a box from them to ship the bike
home. So hopefully I made the right choices. Then funny thing, after we
got back, I was riding my shiny new bike around while my companion was
getting a haircut from another missionary and one of the sisters told us they
needed sister daybells bike cause she was coming to visit the area and
taking her bike with her when she leaves. So I bought a bike in the nick
of time.
so, all in all, I now
have a brand new shinny Raleigh talus 296 and a scott watu white helmet.
I haven't gotten an
email from mom this week so thanks for emailing me.
Love you brother.
miss you.
-Elder Felix
P.S. that's not camera weight, I'm actually fat.
