Week 83 - Finances and the Bike Accident

Finances are becoming stressful to me.  I'm still not sure if I'm supposed to pay to fix the bike with my personal money or if the mission helps.  Either way, I think I'm going to need more personal funds.  I think I have to pay for the bike and I'm just naturally eating more.  I think part is stress eating.   I'm just hungry all the time and because of that, I have been buying more food than usual. Normally it would be fine but with the bike I'm worried.

Speaking of bikes I flew off my bike this week.  We were riding next to a train track and there was this area where there were two logs.  In between the two logs, there was a space just big enough for a bike tire to fall through.  I was biking super fast and my tire decides to go down into the hole throwing me over the handle bars about a good five feet.  I cut my hand and leg. I actually thought that I was going to need stitches in my hand.  It looked like a deep cut and the members that I showed it to felt it needed attention so we almost went to the hospital.  We even called the zone leader, the mission nurse, and Sister Diaz.  We told them we were going to the hospital.  I ended up going to the bishop's house because the members couldn't take me.  The bishop's son just happened to be a paramedic and looked at my cut.  He kind of laughed at me and said yeah it's an ugly cut but not big enough for stitches.  Oh, and because of the crash, my handle bar got bent.  Two days later my pedal fell off, so let's see how much money I get to spend on the bike now.

I also had an exchange with Elder Brooks. I had an exchange with him a long time ago at the beginning of my mission.  We talked about our missions and how the time has passed.

Elder Brown and I are doing good. Honestly, he's probably the funnest companion I've ever had.  He is a fun companion.  My last two companions were really serious.  I think the only problem is we should probably be a little more serious.  We also like food and together we end up eating more.

We had a investigator come to church today named "C".  He's a good kid and I could see him getting baptized.  His brother is a member and served a mission.
