Pity your poor elders of the Bakersfield 2nd area, who are back on foot again. Elder Wood says it is not his fault, because when their bikes were stolen, he was out of the area on exchanges with another missionary. This was on Thursday evening, and his companion and the exchanging missionary had left them locked to a sign post. But apparently the thieves lifted the bikes and the lock up and over the top of the sign, leaving only a lone unwanted bike helmet attached to the post. It sounds like they will probably be sent new bikes sometime soon, but for now they just keep walking everywhere.
Thanks in decent part to the walking, not a lot happened this week. Church was nice, and they talked to some of their friends, but no major progress. Lupe continues to improve healthwise, and they've talked to her on the phone, but they would love to see her at church sometime - it sounds like she isn't quite ready yet.
They were able to get some errands done today, their Preparation Day, since the other missionaries in their district gave them a ride. They went to the dry cleaner to get a suit and some ties cleaned. They got some groceries. And they had an activity with the district, which was some indoor games including spike ball, gator ball (I don't quite understand what that one is), and the tabletop game Secret Combinations. And that is about all the happenings for the week!
