Rain rain go away come again when I am in a car someday

So this week was rainy, but ya it was a good week. On Monday we went to the church with our district and the zone leaders and we made tacos for one of the elder's birthday that was on Tuesday and then we went bowling as well it was fun. We did what is called "skittle bowling" where each color of skittle is a different way you have to bowl so like one leg and like on your stomach and eye closed and ya it was good we did a regular game and I did better score wise in the skittle bowling then regular so that was good, but ya. Ya that night during one of our appts it started to rain it started to let up as we biked to our next one and then right as we were get closer it started to pour and lightning and we had some dang close to us while we were biking, but we got there and got wet, but it was good then it poured super hard during our appt and then stopped as we got out so that was good! And ya the rest of the week highlights we found a new investigator named Grace from Liberia, not 100% sure on her she said she needed to pray about being able to read to the Book of Mormon.  We will see. We see her again tonight. But ya other stuff, so Brooklyn Park has a lot of glass on the ground because it isn't nearly the best part of the twin cites and I got a flat tire one day and then went and got a new tube and bought the wrong one and didn't have time to exchange it so we walked everywhere that day til dinner then got a ride and then after dinner got dropped off at the church and the sisters let us borrow their bikes and the one I rode was small and I looked ridiculous I have a pic i will send it looks photo shopped, but it isn't but ya.

Then Thursday I was able to get my new tube and stuff in and then we went to bike to a less active and do some service and it went flat again😭so ya, but then we helped him chop wood and I learned how to chop it the best way and it was good and we are going to help him next week as well. But ya. Then we walked aways home and did an accounting call and then we got the sister's bikes again so we could go to an appt we had and ya so i have ridden a sister's bike a lot this transfer but ya. That night we did an exchange with the other elders and I went to their area and we went around with a member and did a lot of stop bys it was a good night. 

On Friday morning it was rainy again, but there was a lady in the ward who has a friend who has a plot she rents that is her garden and the member is usually in on it too, but this year she is moving so she can't but the elders and sister always help her so we went and helped her. We biked up there in the rain and it was a good time. While helping her we found a frog colony. We ate some fresh herbs it was good then we biked to the McLafferty house and helped Bro Mclafferty, Donny's dad, move stuff in his garage and then he helped us fix my tire and as we were doing that the people that were moving in with him showed up with their moving truck so we helped move them in and that went well and then he took us to lunch at this Chinese place that was pretty good. So that night we had dinner with a member of the Mission Presidency and his is super rich like really really well off and he gave us a ride in his nice Audi and on the way back we saw the sisters car and I pointed it out and he zoomed across the lanes to get behind it in the turning lane and then got out and went and knocked on their window and  he scared them to death it was hilarious he is an awesome guy. A spiritual giant I have leaned a lot from him over my mission. He is awesome but ya it was great.

On Saturday we had a nice afternoon of not much rain and then we were biking up a little farther away and got pretty soaked from the rain but it was good. And then ya that night we were in an apt building and we were walking around and it just didn't feel right so we left and I just waited and listened and then the Mclaffertys came to mind so we went to them and it was good we went to them. Bro Mclafferty had a hard night and ya not a good situation with his ex-wife right now and to spare details she got taken to jail, but ya if was just good that we went and that we listened to the spirit and we were there.

Then Sunday in the morning we were able to help ordain this kid in the ward we are close with so that was good and ya it was a good Sunday. It was good and ya then that day we were biking after church and it was clear day and then it just started to pour so ya we got wet and we went to the church and I was wet and ya so I went in to the bathroom and wrung out my clothes before we went out again and then we biked around the whole night, but ya it was a good week and ya from my studies this week. So in mosiah 8:17 it says:

 "17 But a seer can know of things which are past, and also of things
which are to come, and by them shall all things be revealed, or,
rather, shall secret things be made manifest, and hidden things shall
come to light, and things which are not known shall be made known by
them, and also things shall be made known by them which otherwise
could not be known."

So this scripture really showed me how the book of Mormon teaches about the importance of having a prophet on the earth if we didn't have one we wouldn't have a lot of things. It just makes sense to have a prophet on the earth and to be able to have a knowledge of things that we wouldn't have without it! My testimony of prophets is very strong we have a prophet for a reason and I will do the best I can to always follow what he says! But that is all have a great week.
