Rough Week, hope you all are doing well!

Well 2 Months in officially and I got my first sickness. Elder Lafeen and I both came down with the Flu. We determined it is probably from one of our investigators who was sick and we got it when we went to give her a blessing. We have been out of commission, it's been a little rough but, back to work we go, WE HAVE PEOPLE TO SHARE THIS GREAT MESSAGE WITH!!
Prior to our getting sick Elder Lafeen and I had a week full of teaching.   We taught over 20 lesson committed a lady to be baptized and are just working really hard to bring people into this gospel.  I do have a young man I'll call him J, that we are working with and he is wanting to be baptized.  He is a great kid who loves the gospel and loves Jesus. So the exciting news for me is that I am the one who will get to baptize him.  I can't wait!!!!
I was on my bike the other day and we went like 20 miles.  Well my knee was killing me, it never hurt like this before.  Not sure how much bike riding I will be doing on my mission.  Oh, and to top it off I got a flat tire!!!!  I don't remember If I told you that I am also learning sign language. It is so cool!  I love this gospel and I know the happiness it brings. It's really starting to hit me how short my time is out here. Time sure does go by quickly. On a brighter note, been getting mail from people I would have never guessed to get it from! So that's always fun on weeks like this. Hope everyone is doing well and having fun!
Miss you all
Love you all!
