This week flew by so fast, I can not even believe I am already in my third week of the cambio. Everything is all good down here in Longaví, the companionship is great, and the work is even better. Before I forget I have got such a good story. It is so classic! So on thursday we decided to work out in Miraflores, and this is about 45 minutes on bike north, then we worked in a little bit, about 15 minutes towards the mountains, to meet up with a member and some references we recieved. w\Well we meet with the members and get a investigator from the references but at 8:30 we decide we ought to head home since it is getting late, and there are no street lights, no house lights, nothing it is straight dark, all except for the little lights we bring. By the way, thanks for the head lamp dad, it is a lifesaver! So we start riding for about 5 minutes and the pedals break so I literally cannot pedal to make the bike go. Well what are we going to do now! If we walk it will take about 3 hours, we cannot take a bus or taxi because buses do not pass by and taxis are more expensive than peanut butter down here. So what else can we do besides say a prayer. Well we say it and not too long after, my companion gets this look on his face, it is one of those looks when you know that whatever he is thinking cannot be good. Well Elder Mackliet was reminded of one time when his bike broke and instead of walking home, he and his friends took off their shoe laces and tied them together, then tying the bikes together, thus making a towing system. Lets just say we made it back with enough time to get back into the house by 9:30 (the designated time to return home)!
The work down here is so inspired and great, the people are so loving! The time is up and have to go but hope to fill the next letters up with more great times! Love you all lots!!!
