This week was a slow week...
We had to take our car into the shop on Monday so we weren't sure what was going to happen because of that. On Tuesday we had to bike to our area. We later calculated that it was about 14 miles! So that was pretty fun.. But luckily one of our members took us home that night. We just threw our bikes in his truck. The next day it got super cold. I know it's nothing compared to the "Utah" cold. But it's super wet here so it almost feels colder! Luckily that same member was able to drive us to the middle of our area and we could start biking. That day nothing was going well. We didn't talk to very many people and it was kind of a really slow day. So we went and ate at the same member that had been driving us around for the last couple of days. When we were eating with him we got a call that our car was done! The member told us that he would take us to go get our car!! It was such a blessing. Later that night as I was writing in my journal I realized how blessed we are in our area. we don't have that many members but the ones that we do have are willing to help us. We just have to ask.
On Thursday the branch had a little thanksgiving party. We were able to get a couple of Less active families to the activity so it was pretty successful!
Not much has happened with investigators. We haven't been able to have another lesson with the Martinez family. But we have been in pretty good contact with them! They haven't been able to come to church but we are trying! Hopefully things work out this week with them!
This week should be pretty exciting. We are going to have two exchanges and we are going to McAllen on Thursday. So it will be a nice change of pace!
This week I have continued to study Humility. The more and more I look at myself the more I realize that this is what I need to work on most!
The mission is amazing!
Love, Elder Hurst
Proof that we can actually ride a bike.

The name of our area is Villa Nueva so we really liked this sign.
