wowzers!!


I can't believe how fast the weeks are going! and I say that every week.  oh man...
 
Anyways, this week was pretty good.  We worked hard, and don't have a ton to show for it except that our shirts are a little more yellow haha.  We got some bleach though, so we're fixing that.  It's been hot, which is good because it makes a lot of people nicer to us, or at least give us water.  I remember last summer I drank so much water... my insides must have been so clean.  I plan to do it again.  We have to kind of trust that people will give us water because it's tough to pack a bunch around... but it's a cool little miracle I get to see most days that, as long as we're working hard, as soon as we start to think about being thirsty, someone offers water.  It's neat to know that God is taking care of us.
 
We are helping a Filipino guy get active in the church again, and he's from California, so that's kind of cool, I guess.  He makes delicious food, and it's pretty spicy.  The only thing is that it's always a lot...  that's okay, I guess, though.  We'll just have to only visit on days that we are on the bikes.  It's pretty funny, I always tlk my companions into planning really long bike routes for the day, and all of them kinda freak out when they realize how far it actually is, but it's pretty good, because it's made us good at stopping the bikes to talk to people haha.  I also Like riding through neighborhoods to make our presence known.  We run into a surprisingly large number of people who haven't seen us or heard of our church before...  Then a bunch that see us way more than they want haha.
 
The other day, a drunk guy stopped us and said he felt sorry for us, so he gave us two tacos and took my pen.  It was kinda weird, and we weren't sure whether or not to eat them, but decided we were hungry and did.  Kinda... I ate mine, and my companion opened his and it was just the lettuce that was supposed to go on mine.  It was okay, though, because we had a big dinner and he couldn't finish it haha.
 
All of us have been trying to eat healthier, but there's a restaurant nearby that sells a sixty-two inch pizza, and we kind of want to go try to eat the whole thing...  If we can finish it with eight people, we'd set a new record for the restaurant, and we're pretty confident, because we destroyed a forty-two incher a while back...  I did the math and found out the sixty-two is actually more than twice the size, though...  needless to say, that would destroy any good eating we were trying to do.... so we'll see haha.
 
th-th-th-th-th-that's all folk's.  i hope y'all have a great week and I'll talk to you on sunday.
 
Love
