Week #37 - Fontana (Sierra Ward) - San Bernardino, CA Mission

Hey wonderful Green family!

Well this week has been crazy. Its been a good week because we've gotten a couple of new people to start teaching.

So this week was started off with district council and then exchanges later with the Alder Elders. The exchanges went well though my bike broke and a lot of appointments fell through.

After exchanges I was able to fix my bike, but we then had to take it into a bike shop in order to repair a part that had been bent. As we were walking home from the bike shop a police officer pulled over and asked us if we were all right. He said he noticed that I didn't have my bike, but my companion did so he was wondering if we had been robbed. We explained to him that we had just dropped my bike off at a bike shop. It turned out that he was a member and so he offered us a ride home. It was pretty cool. He handcuffed my companion's bike to the front of his car and let one of us ride up front and the other ride in back. Apparently handcuffing a bike to the front of a police car is quite normal. The officer said that's what he usually does when he arrests people on bike.

Another fun story is that as we were tracting, we knocked on one person's door and when they tried to open it, the door fell off its hinges. I'm not sure how they managed that, but we didn't get to talk to them because they immediately closed the door to try to fix it.

Besides that, the big news if the week is transfers. So I'll be staying in Sierra and Elder Squires is going to San Bernardino where I was at. I will continue to be the district leader and will start the training of a new missionary. I'm sad to see Elder Squires go, but we go where the Lord needs us. I also can't believe that I'm starting my last transfer. It's kind of sad and it will go by fast. However,  it will be fun.

Love you all lots!

Elder Green
