Howdy Y'All!

I don't have much time to write this week, because we are going to a wedding!  Randy Martin and ShaMonica Adams are getting married. ShaMonica is an investigator, and Randy is a less active member who is returning to activity.  We are so excited!  This last week has been kind of crazy.  A few weeks ago we got rear ended so on Tuesday we put the car into the shop, and we have been biking ever since! It feels good being on bike again.  The problem is that in Tyler Texas there are very few sidewalks and people don't know how to drive with bicyclers on the road.  We started off biking on the side of the road, but the problem was that people would try to fit in the same lane as us and pass by us less than 3 feet away from us.  Talk about scary!  So we learned that it is a lot safer for us to ride side by side and take up a whole lane.

We also have been relying a lot upon the members of the church to help us get from place to place.  The ward here has really stepped it up to help us out and I am so grateful for that.  We have such an incredible ward here and they are very focused on the work.  Everything else here is going wonderful!
