Feb 15th Fun in the Snow

This was a pretty crazy week. On Wednesday there was a really big snow storm. Wednesday night Elder H and I taught a lesson to one of our investigators in Flanders then we started on our way to Hampton Bays. On the way there we were driving on the 24 highway. The speed limit is 55 so hatch thought that 40 would be OK, but there was quite a bit of snow on the road. We slid of the road to the right and we hit a fence post, the front left corner of the car hit the post and it kinda swung us around and parallel parked us on the side of the road.(this was at 7:00 pm, mas o menos) We were fine, but the front left tire of the car was pushed back into the car a little. I think it bent the axle or something. Anyway... I got to call 911, so that was fun. Then about 25 minutes later an Officer came and he was a really nice guy. He gave us a ride home and I had a really good talk with him. Elder H didn't really say anything, he was just sitting in the back thinking... but he's OK, just bummed that he probably won't be able to drive for the rest of his mission, and now we have to walk everywhere. We should be getting a new car sometime soon, but we still don't really know when exactly.
Don't worry though, we're all good and nobody got hurt or anything, it was a little scary though for the 5 seconds that we were sliding of the road heading for a fence post.
The translation equipment worked really well this Sunday, I translated and all of the Spanish people had there headphones on for the whole meeting. and they all told me that they could hear really well. One of the members got sick of the bad antenna and brought us a new one. so that problem is solved, but the speakers still talk too fast and i can't translate everything. But this was probably the best Sunday in a while for the Spanish members.

I'm doing just dandy! I'm pretty darn tired from walking from appointment to appointment, (occasionally we have gotten rides from members and investigators, and when the other elders can, they drop us off in an area). But its been a lot of walking. We walked about 6 miles on Saturday and 3 on Sunday. I didn't keep track on the other days. But it's kinda fun. Not super effective, but a little bit fun.
