Bikes, Baptisms, and Transfers

Funny: This week we found two old bikes and decided to take them out for a day. We only went a few miles to our area and we were exhausted. Haha, it was good to get some good exercise but the bike I was riding didn't quite make it. We lost the seat on the way there and the back brakes on the ride back. So, it'll probably be a while till we do that again.
Spiritual: This week was amazing. We went to one of our investigators the Wiess family and they had totally changed. They were so open to us, we taught the Plan of Salvation and committed them to be baptized on December 30th. We are so excited. After seeing such a rough transfer it really was comforting to see that God is watching over us. It is amazing how the Lord prepares you for the people. Elder Barnard and I really were humbled this transfer, but God loves us and really cares about all his children even those that you meet that you think will never have a change of heart. I know this because I was that person.
Where I am at: With the new transfer I will be getting two companions. I am going to be with Elder Hunt (who I used to go on exchanges with once or twice a week #Zone Monkey) and an Elder Kahle who I am really excited to meet. Elder Barnard is moving to 1st ward... again. He will have been in Page for 11 months after this transfer! This week we have met a lot of drunk people who decided to preach to us the truth. They all are so close but are just missing a little bit. Do you remember a few weeks ago where my funny was the guy who was naked? Well we went by and... he again opened the door naked. I think the people out in Greenhaven just don't think clothes are necessary. The weather down here has been fantastic, we spent all week in short sleeve shirts and even got a bit too warm. It feels like summer down here. I am excited for the new transfer and I am grateful for your letters.
