Holy cow what a cool experience for Elder Farley over in Honduras, he is going to love it down there in Honduras!!!!! THats so cool about his experience, those first weeks of the mission were so powerful, so testimony strengthening! My week was good, we picked up five of the most solid people we're teaching right now. We have been so blessed with people to teach and we have been able to get so many referrals from people lately its crazy! We have been doing a consistent amount of tracting but have beeb able to get some really good lessons in a s well. It is so fun to be out here in california, With the lakers winning everyone has been in a good mood! haha we had to email today because the yesterday the computers were down but i think it was also so we could tell you a couple biking stories that we had this week, We were biking as usual, Van HOrn in the front wasting me and me following behind, well i stopped to talk to a guy on the road and teach him real quick and Van Horn never saw me stop and by the time i looked up I had no idea where he was at and we didnt have a set place we were going we were just headed to go contact some people on the streets, so i started biking up etiwanda and i got to an intersection on 58th and Etiwanda and we either go straight at that intersection of right it seems so i started biking straight still alone which is a weird feeling on your mission and i biked and the spirit said turn around and go on 58th street so i did and i started biking still looking back often in case he was coming bike that way and about a mile later i saw him in the distance busting back to find me, he had had the same experience to look back and was led to where i was at, we were teaching a family on the importance of the gift of the holy ghost that we receive after being baptised by that priesthood authority (Acts 8 and Acts 19) for instance and we talked about how that Holy ghost led us to each other and the spirit was so strong. But the best bike story for the week was this last evening i was right next to Van Horn and i grabbed his backpack to pull on and then it would shoot me forward to gain speed, well whiloe i did that Van horn chose to grab my left handlebar and with the sudden shoot of speed and his gorilla grip on my handlebars it yanked my front wheel directly perpendicular to the bike frame and sent me and me bike head over heels under him, making him run me over and flipped him head over hills. A ridiculous situation and we were both on the ground kind of like "did that just happen?" haha so i thought it was really funny and he did too after a while, the stupid stuff that happens when you dont just do what your supposed to. But yeah transfers is this coming week so ill find out whether or not im going or staying, I hope i stay one more with the work that is going on here and the people we ahve to teach. I love you all and hope you can continue to become better each and every day.
Love Elder Schallenberger
