Adventures and Biking in Frisco...

Hola familia! 

Not a very eventful week, but we had some decent stuff going on. We started the week by heading on over to Sherman, TX, after a mission meeting, for some exchanges. It was pretty neat. I got try out my rusty Spanish again! A member up there invited their mexican friend to listen to the missionaries! So I got to try out my Spanish, the member (a white guy who served in Argentina) translated everything else. The guy could understand English, mostly. Then the next morning we went to the Grayson County museum! The owner lady is an investigator, and the missionaries go and help out around a Frontier Village they have like painting and spraying hornets and such. The village is kind of like Old World Wisconsin, with like real original log cabins and stuff. 

Then today we got to go trail biking with this awesome member in one of the wards here. He took us out to this trail and it was pretty sketchy at some points! Like really steep and dodging between trees and things. I even crashed once! It wasn't bad though, I just hit a tree kinda, but I wasn't going too fast, just a little scrape on my arm. About half way through the trail it started downpouring! The trail got all muddy and we were slipping all around. And everything was sticking to the tires and we were soaking wet, and muddy. It was awesome! We didn't finish the trail, but he took us to In-N-out burger and then to do our shopping. This is the same guy that picked us up when Elder Tornow's bike self destructed, and then he and another member have been working on it to fix it. He's the best!

We also had a one or two good lessons, nothing major, mostly entern-agators haha. Love the people here, hopefully we can find more that want to listen.

Love you guys!
Elder Hogg

Pictures: We were also talking to someone in their door and this storm started rolling in. We looked up and saw a big flowed that started to swirl and funnel, it was wild! We booked it to a local Burger King to take shelter, so we didn't get destroyed by it.
