Will cowboy-fied

Elder Berardi and I got typewriters, and they're the best thing ever.  I made 4 letters in under an hour versus 1 when I hand write.  Mine is an old syle with just electronic keys so they don't get stuck together.  Elder Berardi's has a sixteen character screen so he can see what he types before it does.  When he leaves he said I could have it!  Oh so tuesday night after my last letter I wiped out on my bike and lost a pair of the grey pants(everything else is ok).  Elder Berardi lost his footing and swerved into me, and in order to keep him up I had to give him a little push on the shoulder.  Unfortunantly his foot got caught in my front spoke, and it was bye bye Elder.  No scrapes.  just ripped pants.  So this afternoon we are going bowling as a zone which should be pretty fun, I can't wait to see how good the other Elders are.  That's about all the day to day stuff I've done besides the fact E.Berardi and I cleaned our apartment, so it doesn't have spiders everywhere.

We met this awesome investigator on friday.  She needs help moving out this afternoon and the elders from another area asked us to go over and help.  Well I figured since she's going to california she wouldn't have much interest in hearing what we had to say.  Lesson learned, she is the most prepared individual I've ever met.  When we went to see her last friday she shared with us how she comes to learn truth, which is she prays about things she hears and waits for a confirmation from the spirit! Everything she believed lined up with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. When we shared with her the Book of Mormon her eyes got really wide.  She committed herself to read and pray about the Book of Mormon to know if it is writings from prophets of God.  We'll see her this afternoon to help her move, and I'm looking forward to it, she is the sweetest person I've met here.  Before we left she said that she would never forget us, because we made such an impression.  It was a great experience.

Last night we had a mission presidents fireside, which is the most powerful, entertaining thing.  It starts with a few recent converts sharing their conversion story, then there are a few musical numbers from the missionaries, and more short testimonies.  The best speaker was Bro.Carter who started off by saying "you know I don't think I'll have a problem speaking, because this is all about me which is my favorite subject"  He had such a powerful testimony, and he was blown away by the love members of the church have for each other.  I laughed so hard and is was such an uplifting talk. 

Almost forgot I bought some cowboy boots from goodwill for 10 dollars :) best deal on shoes I've ever gotten.

I love and miss everyone.
