Ok, well, I will do my best to send a good email. first of all, events of the week; On last p-day at the end of the day I slipped on my bike and hurt my arm. Tuesday I went to the hospital and found out it might be broken, but probably not. Wednesday they found out it was not broken and put me in a splint. On Sunday Elder McLane, one of the Zone leaders in our apartment of four, got the flu pretty bad. Just a month ago they were hit by a car and spent a lot of time out of commission. Because of His being sick I ended up going to a lesson with a family of eight, with a member. They are so great! I have never taught a family like them before. Yesterday (wasn't pday) I took off my splint thinking it was going to be ok. For dinner we went to a really cool restaurant with a bunch of people that are a part of our English class here. On the way there i was hit by a car again :). I was just crossing the cross walk and then the car turned into me. If I had been just a little bit ahead of myself I would have been T-boned, but as it was I just kind of landed hard and I am all right. Today we hear transfer calls.
Besides that (those are the small things) we see people reject of accept the gospel every day. We went to one family who would have accepted the gospel with pleasure , but the grandfather of the family would not allow it. If I can for a second talk about the hard things of the mission, I will. there are hard things like getting sick, or things like that, those things are not bad at all. Mostly it is just frustrating that they get in the way.There are also hard things where relationships are not going well, (I haven't had to worry to much lately in that area:) .) And there are the hard things of understanding and doing the will of God. This one is a thousand times harder that the others! but there is nothing so rewarding! I hate to see people reject the gospel, and I hate to see them turn away from that which would help them the most, but as long as I can know that I am doing what the Lord wants me to do, I have the comfort and the help of the Spirit. We are so blessed to have that Spirit! I love that gift.
Love to all!
Elder Bevan
