Hit and Run!

I'm excited for taylors baptism. the first one in this ward in almost a year. so the ward it excited. the guy who baptized her mom (in 1991) will be the one to baptize her. his name is brother lee. Then one of the Bishopric will be confirming her. At least we get to stand in. Im really glad. its different having us do all the teahcing and then the ward takes care of the baptism. Its almost like we are pushed off to the side. But I know its not intentional. Thats the way its supposed to be too. Im glad that the ward its getting involved with her baptism. While Taylor and her mom are getting things together, they have been having missionary experiences. They have two families coming to the baptism that we can teach. im really excited. imagine a family of 5! especially with recent converts as their fellow shippers! Its guaranteed to be solid.
I got hit by a car on Friday evening. I was crossing through an intersection and Elder Lagace was a little bit behind me. of course there are no bike lanes or even a shoulder in VA, so I was riding the white line. then a white jeep comes up behind me and side-swipes me. It knocked me off balance but luckily not off my bike. I wasn't sure what had happened until i felt my arm hurt so I pulled over and sat there watching the jeep just drive away. I pulled out the phone and called the police. I felt really bad though. I had no ID on the guy or car. Just the fact that he ran and i got hit was all. Luckily there were two cars full of witnesses. who stopped and checked up on us. then they gave the cop their information. It was a blessing. my arm feels fine now, no harm done. other than me always wanting to ride on the sidewalks now. can you blame me though?
We have not been successful in contacting Sherri or the Wheatleys lately. It makes me sad that we have to struggle to get a hold of them let along get a lesson with them. Its like with Lewis. Great guy, strong desire to learn, but just wont give up their time to learn more. They know they need to prioritize but they just don't. I hope and pray that none of y'all are doing that. its a bad bad trap to get into. We are hoping to get them seeing enough to change but its not too good looking right now.
Vince is not getting baptized on the 28th but he is still doing well. more later Love to all,
