Bike Wreck!

We didn’t get a weekly email from Chance, but below are some of the excerpts from our Google Hangouts conversation.  Enjoy the pictures.

Chance: Hey!

Dad: Hey bud. How are things in the north?

Chance: It is getting to the 40's this week so pretty toasty.

Dad: Yeah seems like it.

Dad: Heard you wrecked on your bike. Sounded like you got cut up a bit.

Chance: Yeah I crashed doing some dirt bike jumps while contacting.

Dad: Did you get hurt much? Every missionary has to have at least one good wreck.

Chance: Nah, just tore up my hands a bit.

Dad: Were you having a good time?

Dad: How is the work going? Seems harder there.

Chance: Yeah, I was.  It is all good though, I will probably be back out there in the next week or so.

Chance: It is hard. We are trying anything and everything to get people out to church and lessons

Dad: Well have fun but be careful.

Chance: Will do it is not worth dying over

Dad: Just keep doing your best and try to follow the spirit as much as you can. The Lord has a reason for you to be there. He will lead you to it.

Dad: How are you getting along with your comp? You guys still having a good time? Your pictures Broome were way cool; very vibrant colors.

Chance: Yeah, Fo sure that is how it looks to be honest. Me and my comp get along pretty good he can be a bit nutty sometimes.

Dad: We all are for sure.

Dad: Do you guys have anything fun coming up?

Chance: Not really, there will be in a few months but that is a ways away. We are looking forward to conference.

Dad: Conference will be fun. Had any good experiences lately? What have you been studying.

Chance: I have been learning heaps. I have been using this Book of Mormon study manual and it blows my mind every time.

Chance: I learned that Lucifer means light bearer in Hebrew.

Dad: That is trippy. It is wild that he was next in line for most intelligence behind Christ. That is why there was such a struggle in Heaven over the plan of salvation. Because he was a spirit in high standing in the council in Heaven.

Chance: Yeah, but all is good. I am doing a 55-day challenge thing on reading the Book of Mormon.

Dad: Nice. It is good to study any way to get the time in. The time in the Book of Mormon is what matters. The book has power.

Chance: Yeah for sure.

Chance: I want to read all of the standard works by the end of this year so we will see how that goes.

Dad: The Old Testament is hard. I have read it twice. It is tough to follow but some great stories there. We learned about the story of Abraham and Isaac and the sacrifice of Isaac. Good ones.

Chance: Yeah. they did that in Gospel Doctrine the other week too.

Dad: I don’t get to Gospel Doctrine much but in Pasco we got there. The story of David and Solomon are ones that pain me but are powerful reading.

Chance: Yeah, same David is the biggest underdog and he mucks up when he wasn’t even supposed to be in Jerusalem

Dad: Yeah. Sad. But there are such great stories to learn from.

Dad: How long until it starts to cool off for you weather wise?

Chance: Not until around mid-April.

Dad: Yikes. Another month and you will be well done.

Chance: Yeah, I am a little red these days.

Chance: Hey got to go.

Chance: Love ya.
