Hey all! I hope things are going well. yesterday was presidents day so thats why I didnt write.. I dont really have much to say.. oh i guess i do have a cool story of something that happened last night.. I dont have a whole lot of time as far as i know right now, but anyway heres what happend.. so elder burrows got pretty sick on sunday and we went in early cause he was really sick.. anyway.. that followed p-day too.. and so we went on exchanges yesterday night cause i wanted to go out and do some missionary work.. so i went out with elder jensen and we took our bikes.. anyway we headed to one appointment at about 6:15 and that didnt really workout.. so we headed off in the other direction for awhile and it got way dark.. and we met with a part member "family" for a little bit.. then we headed down a kinda dangorous road (for biking on late at night that is) cause its mostly a country road, but there was a good amount of traffic, anyway elder jensen was in front of me and he had a light on his bike (mine was dead cause i need to get new batteries), and so i dont have a light and i guess i was following perhaps, a little too close, i dont know.. but anyway as we are going down the road, i hear elder jensen say something like.. "whoa.. dead.." and at that point it was really to late for me.. i can hardly see as it is but infront of me on the ground i see this darkish blob (no idea what it is).. and i totally slam into it like.. hitting a cinder block on your bike and right as i begin to make my way over the handle bars.. im thinking.. "i just hit some roadkill or something.." and i fly like right into the road and i see headlights coming up behind me and im thinking.. "wow i could die right now.. is this really happening.." (it was more comical probably than im making it out to be..) but anyway so i hit the ground and my bike to and im trying as fast as i can to get up and get out of the road.. and i back away a little bit and then drag my bike off to the side and try to figure out what just happend.. and it turns out i totally hit a dead deer with my bike.. once i kinda figure out what just happend, i moved my bike off the road, and this lady had stoped right behind me after i hit it.. and asked me if i was ok and stuff.. and asked if it was a deer.. and i said yeah, and she said okay be safe out here and drove off.. so that was a super weird experience.. i got elder jensen to take some pictures of the deer with his camera.. and ulgh.. it was really gross.. and i had some blood on my back tire/wheel too.. but anyway kinda a cool story cause now i can tell people i actually hit a deer on my bike.. anyway the night was kinda slowed down becuase of that..and i scaped up my hands just a little bit.. but yup. that was a fun event.. i always worried about falling into on coming traffic while riding my bike or walking and stuff and, that pretty much went right through my mind that i might get hit by a car as i was crashing.. but it all turned out for the better... and by that i mean a pretty funny story. and my bike is fine..
Anyway hope all is well.. its ok for anyone to write me too.. so if anyone ever feels like it.. email me... also mom i only got one package i think.. and it was from becca.. i dont really remember any other packages this month. love yall.
