This week me and my companion attempted to go to church.
We didn't make it. This was the first time they had it since it was closed. Church was at 9 and we set off at 8:15 on a 6-mile bike ride through the desert. A couple minutes in my suit coat sleeve got caught in the break and we couldn't get it out but luckily some biker bros came by with tools and helped us get it out. There was three of them so I'm pretty sure they were the three Nephites. We kept going down the road trying to make it to church but, 2.5 miles in my companion ran over a bolt popping his back tire. By this point we were still pretty far away from church so we walked back home in over 90-degree weather.
One thing I am really greatful for are cars. Now that I have walked over 2 miles in hot weather I am really greatful for bikes too. Crazy how humble the mission makes you.
On Thursday my companion and I rode 13 miles in 107 degrees heat. We went to teach a lady named Yolanda about the restoration. She was pretty interested in the plan of salvation but, we can't get back in contact with her yet. On the way back I felt like I was about to pass out so I poured water on my mask to cool me off. I have sweated so much this week I could fill a bathtub with all my sweat.
We have ridden a total of of 31 miles in more than a 107 degrees weather. At least I can feel my legs getting stronger so when I get back I could probably compete in the Olympics for cycling.
The meat we got this week was brisket from the same guy who smoked us the pulled pork. It was really really really good. So I ate a bunch of that. Even though this week was really hard the brisket made it worth it.
Hope you all are doing well and have a good week. Love y'all.
