and they biked and biked and biked AND Biked

this week was super crazy! We biked alot of the week, and tried to see many people. On saturday, we biked to a member's house that is 4 miles away to help them do family history, and then we biked 6-7 miles to downtown Pensacola, walked around, and biked 6-7 miles back. Then stopped at an investigator's house to teach them. Then biked 2.5 miles home. It was around 20 miles or more that we biked. Good thing my companion helped me to be prepared for that by having me do some circuits with her for exercise. 

We did have a cool experience on Friday with a member. Sister Coleman took us out to lunch, and then was going to come with us to teach an investigator named Bobbie. When we got to Bobbie's house, she was not there.So we were driving back because Sister Coleman had to leave soon. We passed the Life Care Center ( a member by the name of Brother Allen is currently there), and as we were driving past, Sister Coleman kept asking if we would like to stop and visit him. We told her it was okay, we could visit him another day. Well then next thing we knew, she was pulling a U-Turn and heading towards the Life Care Center. She said, "I am bad about following promptings the first time, so I am going to hurry and follow the prompting right now." When we got to Brother Allen's room, he was in the middle of telling his occupational therapist about the word of wisdom. We got talking with them, and the OT, Theresa, had questions about our missionary work and she mentioned that she knew a member. We then shared a scripture from 2 Nephi 25 with them and said a prayer. As we were leaving, I gave her a pass along card, and then asked for her number and to set up a time to meet with her. As I was doing that, Sister Coleman started asking her about what church she goes to. She goes to a methodist church, but only because her daughter is going to preschool there. She was very open. It was so cool to see that even though an appointment cancelled, there was a reason for it.

Love you all!!!!
