The best thing that happened is that Lars came to church. And it just so happened that I gave a talk that Sunday on the Restoration. It was pretty cool. Lars is doing excellent and I hope it stays that way so that he can get baptized on February 18th. That has got us pretty excited.
On Sunday night we witnessed a gang fight, and we were almost caught in the middle of it. I never would have expected a gang fight in this area. We assume it was a street racing gang. It's a really nice place and nice neighborhood. So after dinner that night we went to the park nearby to figure out what we were going to do next, and then about ten cars peel in around us (the park is a block park with roads on all sides). We decided to turn off our bike lights when we hear yelling and cars ramming into each other. We ran and hid behind a tree, laying on our stomachs so they don't see us. That was when we called 911 (but we didn't see them for about 2 hours). The gangs left so we rode went over to where they were to see if there was any broken car parts or anything. After we looked for a couple minutes (we didn't find anything) all the cars come peeling around the corner again. They were coming from different directions too, so we flew into the dark field in the park back to our savior tree. They didn't see us, but we were stuck back at the tree again. This time the gangs were going to brawl or something, and we just here someone say "everyone go pee before we fight" and they proceeded to pee on some trees near the road. Weirdest thing ever. Not much fighting if any happened and they were all gone within ten minutes. They kept driving by every one in a while and then we didn't see them anymore. We thought they were going to come back so we were waiting for them and the cops. It got to be about 9pm so we headed home and on the way we saw two cop cars on the prowl through the neighborhood. But we went home because we were freezing from sitting in a field all night with light clothing.
We were crossing/playing on a frozen river when Elder Hendrick's foot went through the ice and his foot got soaked. He was cold.
A dog chased/followed us as we left from knocking a door. It kept following us and we kept taking it back to the house but it would chase us as we rode away.
We found an abandoned kiddy pool that we are going to use as a sled. Elder Hendrick biked it over to an abandoned tunnel where we are storing it.
We got chased by some crazy party people because they liked our wheel lights. We had to book it up a big hill to get away from them.
Thank you for all the emails! Have a nice day.
Peace,
Elder Wheelwright
