Already a third of the way done!

Hey everyone, 

Yesterday was my 6 month mark! It's kind of a relief, because the first several months are slower. But the past 2 transfers have flown by, especially this one. So I'll see ya in a year!! 

We're still riding around on our bikes, it's been a month since we lost the car. Our vehicle coordinator just notified us that we get it back in a week or week and a half, there's still some things to be fixed. At this point, a week is definitely no big deal. We're definitely feeling more fit and bike-riding makes the day more fun and time goes faster. However, the past 2 days were really hot and humid, and there's a point we reach where we start going to people's houses just to get water and sit in some air conditioning for a few minutes. And there's times where people will pull up and say "Hi Sisters!!" later in the day when we're all sweaty and nasty and we're like, don't look at us!!! Haha. 

We haven't gotten transfer calls yet, but we're assuming we'll be in a trio companionship for the next week and a half until Sis. Pollock goes home. We have no idea how we're fitting another person in our tiny apartment and how effective things will go with a third person on a bike (that probably won't be in-shape for it like we now are), but we'll see what happens. 

Teri came to church again, and is trying to get a job and quit smoking and everything. We've been seeing her a lot and hope that she'll be able to make things happen this time. Other investigators are kind of floundering, and the other 3 sets of missionaries that cover the town of Westerville have similar problems where barely anyone can progress. We're not sure what that's all about. 

We had a fun day on Saturday. An investigator that Sis. Pollock tracted into last transfer in Newark got baptized, so we attended the baptism. We saw our old companions, since Sis. Pollock and Sis. Baldridge traded places last transfer. The Santillans (our favorites!) drove us out there and we went to Granville afterwards and got Whit's Frozen Custard (my favorite, it's only in towns east of Columbus like Zanesville). It was also nice to not be on bikes all day, the physical aspect of it definitely catches up to you at some point! 

I love you all, and keep having a great summer!
