I hope you all had a great mother's day :) My mother is the BEST!!! I love my family :)
We had some really amazing experiences this week.
To start off, I ran over a groundhog while riding my bike!! I was going fast down a hill, and there was a strip of grass between the road and the sidewalk. In half a second, I saw the groundhog and guessed its intentions to kill itself. Sure enough, it tried to dart to safety away from the road and sidewalk. Unfortunately, my back tire had other plans and squashed it. I am very very lucky it didn't hit my front tire, in which case I would be in the same state as the groundhog. The Lord definitely allowed me to follow promptings to keep my helmet buckled (which I don't usually do) and keep my hands on the handlebars instead of getting a drink like I thought to do. God is good!! (all the time)
I sang at the "House of Prayer Full Gospel" church in Huntsville, AR on exchanges! I sang Come, Follow Me and one other song that I can't remember right now. My companion for the day, Elder Rex, played the piano. It was very odd! I haven't every sang in public before but I think I'm at the point in my life where I can fail at something like that and be fine with it, dust myself of, and get back to work. It was a small congregation, but it was a fun experience!! They definitely PREACH the word there hahahaha
We had some really great lessons this week, as well as some good finding time and service.
It was Elder Broadhead's birthday on Friday!! We threw a surprise birthday party for him at our Bishop's house, and it was lots and lots of fun!! He's a great companion and a stellar missionary. I found out that he doesn't like surprises too much, though.. :(
We are making some good progress here in Fayetteville!! It's an amazing area with some amazing people. I love it!
Love,
