This week has had a lot of ups and downs. So on Saturday we came to
the church to do our facebook stuff and there were a bunch of cars here so we
didn't know if we could use the computers or not so I only locked up my frame
of my bike and I was planning on going back out and fixing it after we were
sure we could use the computers. But we were on the computers for like 15
minutes and an English elder came in and was like, "uh, Elder Eichers do
you know your front tire is missing" so I run out there and I am just so
sad and when I got out there it was gone. I had to walk pretty far to get to
the bike store and it was just the walk of shame, walking a bike with no front
wheel. I got everything worked out now it just cost a lot of money to buy
a new tire. I was so frustrated because I have been working so hard and
then this just happened.
But when we got home we got a call saying that there was a primary party for our ward and there was an investigator there who lived in our area! So that made things much better and so we went over there and we spent a lot of time with all of the kids in our ward and plus O's little girls were there who always make my day! Everything just seemed so much better after that and with all the love of the people here, it is impossible to stay sad!

Yesterday was a great Sunday! We went to church and everything and
then visited a member who seemed so happy to see us! They said they were just leaving and they were sorry they couldn't go to church but they really want to
come next week! It was great just because he had a good attitude and showed
like he was starting to feel comfortable with us even though we didn't teach
them! Then we went to the family As' house and we were there for a while
and it was what Sundays should be like! We just ate and talked and shared a
message with them, they are doing great at sharing the gospel with all of their
friends! I loved spending time with them! But before we got to the appointment,
I have a little cord to lock up my bike and I wrap it up around the frame of my
bike and it came undone and got in my tire and I fell on my bike! It was my
first crash and it was so sad but so funny! But anyways after A we went
to O and L and their whole family was there (L's parents too) and it
was perfect! We taught them and they gave us more food, I was already full but
we are missionaries so I ate that food too and was happy about it! So the whole
week ended up being great even though there were some really rough patches!
But I am staying here with Elder Gomez and I am really happy about it! There is only one Elder changing out of our zone. But I love you guys and have a great week!
