Just a few words from Ster this week.

We had zone conference last week. Sister Hale taught us about cooking and gave us a list of foods that are easy to make and really cheap. Pres Hale talked about Prayer and having a Mighty Prayer. We participated in a lot of different activities where we worked as a team. One activity was called the helium stick. A group of us had to lower the stick to the ground w/ our fingers and if our fingers came off the stick we had to do push ups. Then another one where we were on a platform with a bunch of tennis balls under us and we had to try and cross the room on the platform and our team were gathering the tennis balls to keep us going. Then my favorite called "Crossing the Beam". We had to try and get everyone across a beam depending on our weight. It was a lot of fun. (To see pics of these activities go to the FL Mission Website, listed to the left) (*Here is a pic of Ster doing the helium game*)

I got my bike fixed. But, listen to this, Ok, so the guy from Frenchie's Bike Shop fixed everything on my bike, things that didn’t need to be fixed, he basically gave me a whole new bike and told me to pay for it. argg... I was thinking "did I ask you to grease my gears or my shocks, or correct my spokes or put jet engines on my seat, or to add a second seat or put on these crazy alien lights or to unscrew everything and then put it all back together, then charge me the man hours it took to put it back together, and then put helicopter landing gear on the bottom? DID I........) Ok, so some of those things were an exaggeration. But you get the idea he charged me a lot for things I never asked for. Freaking French people. ;)

Well I love you mom and dad. I will talk to you later. I will try to send some mail this week; you guys are always in my prayers. Talk to you later
