Yes, in case you were wondering, there is a strike right now in the public transit of madrid. This causes us to have to arrive late from everything and leave early for the other things. Obviously you were not wondering that, but now you are. Apparently the government made a 5% pay cut and the workers flipped. Now there are no workers and madrid is flipping. It is nuts.
So as for the normal stuff i can try to squeeze in in the 5 minutes i have left (i am going to make an attempt at filling for the lack of words with pictures of our bike trip) i will give you some quickies.
Susan!! So the other day we were on the bus and this kid got on, i said hi and he got off really fast so i didnt really get to talk to him. Bummer. Well, we ended up seeing him from the bus one day so we got off and went to talk to him and he said, "Hey Elder Skyler." Unexpected. After the shock wore off i was able to ask him how the heck he knew my name and who i was since we had never ever spoken. Turns out he found the blog. You are incredible. And even more incredible, he speaks english, so he will probably end up reading about himself pretty soon.
No time to expound any more on that, just know your reach is terrifying and impressive.
So the pictures are from the Tandem bike experience (thought they would fit the theme of your last letter, Mom). It was so fun. We domintated all the solo riders. Best part of all though: We had planned for a long time to get the tandem, but we knew we had to get something more to make it even better, and as we were walking into the metro we saw a nigerian selling sunglasses for 10 euros each. I went up and showed him the 10 and said that i wanted two instead of just one. He gave us two. So worth it.
The work is progressing. We have an investigator named Nieves that we picked up a couple weeks ago. She has been investigating for about 6 years and has a lot of problems. We have had some really amazing lessons with her and this last sunday we were talking about how we could help her more and it just came down to the fact that she needed to be baptized as soon as possible because she would not last much longer without the gift of the holy ghost, Luckily, the Lord decided to tune in on that conversation. That day we gave her a triple combination. That night she read the whole thing. When she woke up she said she knew what she needed to do. We met, she said she needed to be baptized this week, and here we are, running to make it happen. We are set for friday. Incredible.
Sorry for the shortness,
Just imagine the rest is filled with my love for you,
Elder Sky
