So my bike bit me

*Knock* *knock* knock*
"Hello...oh no. Not interested!"
"Wait does ________ live here??"
*slams door before we can ask the whole question*

*car drives up slow, rolling down the window*
"Hail satan!" *While flipping us off*
*waving and smiling* "Have a nice day!"

So my bike bit me. We were riding through the wash and the last storm
took out a huge section of dirt. It was late and dark so I didn't see
that the ground was missing. I was going pretty fast and all of a
sudden I felt myself going down. Then there was ground and some how my
knee hit something and my petal slammed into the back of my leg. The
petal went down leaving marks just below my calf. It looks like I got
bit by a dog or something haha. There was blood but I just pulled up
my socks and we got to our next appointment. Oh and I never fell off
my bike, I stayed upright. I have almost crashed and flipped off my
bike several times because I enjoy trying to do thrilling things to
keep myself entertained. But out of all the bails I've had, I've never
hit the ground. I've always been able to land on my feet. I'm lucky
too because a lot of them I should've crashed hard. Elder Burbank just
laughs as I land on my feet and says, "every time you're fine". I
guess he crashed really bad 3 weeks before I got here. He destroyed
his slacks and has some scars from it. I'm just waiting for the day I
go down. I don't want it to happen, but I'm told that every missionary
crashes at some point.

I finally found scriptures in the New Testament that proves the
trinity wrong! My zone leader was the one who actually showed me the
scriptures, but now I have them in case I need them. John 17:20-23
"20. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall
believe on me through their word;
21. That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in
thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that
thou hast sent me
22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may
be one, even as we are one:
23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one;
and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved
them, as thou hast loved me."
So Christ is praying to God here. And if the scriptures where it says
that Jesus and God are one mean the same person, then this scripture
is saying that the 12 apostles who Christ is praying with are as well. So
either all 14 of them are one, or God and Christ are 2 separate
beings.

I love the scriptures. I've been reading the Bible a lot. We try to
share a message with everyone. If they don't know much about our
church yet we offer to share a message out of the Bible with them.
I've found so many great, powerful scriptures out of the Bible. Elder
Burbank has found Bible references for every part of the plan of
salvation! It makes teaching it to those who have a different
religious background that much easier. They already accept the Bible
as truth, so it's just showing them the truth from something they
already know is true.
