Bike fest!

Hey look my 5 month mark is coming this Sunday how crazy is that? I don't feel like it's been almost five months. But heck it's close to the 6 month and then I'm a quarter way done. But this week has beeeeeen interesting.

So Monday was pretty low key because we are low on miles and that really stresses me out and shoots my anxiety through the flippen roof but it is what it is so ill bear it. Not much that I can do.

Tuesday was the beginning of week one and we didn't have to go to transfers so it was a pretty normal day. Pretty much my whole district is the same except that we lost one sister and got two other sisters.

The two new ones are alright I'm a little partial to the old one because she was part of the old first district but oh well it is what it is.

Wednesday was district meeting nothing much happened there besides the whole having to drive to another town to have district meeting.  But one thing sure happened and it was pretty awesome. So we had a RM from lake Mary drive down to help us out with a lesson with Fredrick. Now normally I wouldn't make a big deal about this but this RM serves in the Marshall Islands. Fredrick is from the Marshall Islands. So we had half of a lesson in English and half of the lesson in Marshallese. It was cool, didn't understand a word being said half of the time but it was cool. Marshallese is one of those languages that sounds like gibberish mixed with another language or two.

Thursday was the beginning of bike fest. The Harley Davidson and the city of leesburg every year hold the bike fest. And guess where the church is. Right behind the Harley Davidson. So our parking lot was being used by bikers and such. They had permission and everything but they had the shuttle running and also some of these bikers are not as courteous as others.  We spent some time walking the parking lot picking up coffee, beer cans, soda cans, and other alcoholic beverages. It was a mess. And it only built up as the week went on.

Friday was pretty good we went to go help president Matthews. So we drove to his sons house to help guide a tree as it was getting cut down. One problem. They started without us. This being said it resulted in an unfortunate side effect. The tree fell on the house.

Florida houses are pretty strong. Usually the walls are made of stone or cinder blocks as to fight against storms and usually the roofs are stronger than non tropical storm areas. But this tree decided to change all of that. So the tree fell on the roof and boom punches a hole through the plywood and breaks 3-4 trusses and made it so you could see daylight trough the roof inside. It was no Bueno for them.

Saturday we did service for president Matthews this time at his house.

And this time we were cutting down trees. Again. Luckily this time nothing was harmed in the process. It was hard tough work though. I have never sweat so much in my life but then I came to Florida. But it was all worth because he cooked ribs for the troops and oh mah gosh.

These suckers had been smoking for a while and they were the type of ribs where you don't have to have sauce on them so you just eat em dry and oh goodness it was good. It was a southern barbecue lunch. Ribs, smoked chicken, potato salad, homemade baked beans and rolls. It was the works and I demolished a half rack by myself after all that. The rest of the day was lame because bike fest destroyed our appointments because either everyone was there or traffic was to thick to get anywhere but we got through it.

Sunday we only went to sacrament meeting cause Wilson has been sick so it was a low key day yesterday.

So that's the email. Everything else is good. I'm going to go cast out evil spirits of a home now( no joke that crap happens out here)

Love elder Hanson

P. S. Next weeks email will be a day late we are having a training so that we may receive Facebook back. Yay!
