So this week had a couple of firsts for me.
For starters I became the area leader and my companion is a
transfer 5 Zone Leader! He's way cool and such a great missionary.
His name is Elder Lilya and we just get along so well. His dad is Air
Force so we tend to think alike. We just can't agree on which is
better: Air Force or Marines. The answer is Marines by the way.
Anyway, I won't make you wait until the end of my email like I
sometimes do. I got hit by a car. I was riding by the highway and
this car was coming at me and I realized that the lady driving wasn't
looking so she didn't slow down as she got closer to me. She wasn't
actually going fast, she was coming to a stop. Anyway, I couldn't
dodge it but it didn't look too bad so I just braced for impact and
BOOM! Actually it wasn't bad at all. There was no boom. It bumped
me and I just continued on like nothing happened. Nothing hurt and my
bike was good so I went to check if she was ok because she was
freaking out. After assuring her that I was NOT hurt at all and my
bike was NOT broken she calmed down. Interestingly enough the only
thing damaged was her car. It had a scratch on the front but was
nothing severe. Since there were no damages done to either party we
called it good and just kept going. And as we kept going we met
Yamamoto. He's a mid-aged guy who was kind of interested in what we
had to say so we did another first and took him to the church right
then for a tour. He thought it was great when we explained that we
help others come unto Christ by getting baptized and traded numbers
with us. Later that night he even called us to give us his address
and check our appointment!
I don't have much time, but those are probably the only things
you'd really care about. Is week was pretty good, I just left out a
lot of it. I'll fill you all in sometime when I'm not a Zone Leader.
Elder Rogers
We love you Elder Rogers... quit getting hurt!
