Christmas Magic!!!!

This week was full of Christmas Magic... the worst kind. FIRST THING TO DISAPPEAR: MY HAIR!!! I got a haircut last monday hehe. I got it at a bus stop barbershop... not the most approved place, but how often do you get to have a 78 year old Taiwanese woman with a straight razor to your neck haha. For science. SECOND THING TO DISAPPEAR from Christmas magic... INVESTIGATORS... EVERYONE IS GONE. we have about 2 investigators right now, one is out of town and the other is in the hospital in another city... The first actual ACT was that my companion and I performed in our Christmas Zone conference! we sang a parody of a song that my companion and I wrote. it was super hilarious. if I get a copy of the video I'll send it to you all as soon as I can haha. DISAPPEARING ACT 3: MONEY I am done broke haha I'm now living off of personal funds, we have just been traveling so much lately that I'm just done broke... yaaaayyyy. DISAPPEARING ACT 4: FINAL ACT: MY BIKE!!! my bike was stolen in the night and on Sunday morning I woke up to the end of a very hard week expecting to bike the half an hour up a mountain to go to church, and all we see is my companion's bike.... we start searching around... and well, we found nothing... I was just kinda devestated at that point because it had just been a bitter cold rainy unsuccessful week and to end it outsunday morning my bike gets stolen... so we hopped on a bus with all the pennies i could find in our couch and headed up to church late... we went to church without any investigators and half of my RC's are in the hospital and the other is stuck at work... so I just sat next to my comp in an empty row... no one sat by us. so we had a small miracle, the one member in our area saw us and offered us a ride home. once we got home my comp ate lunch (I was fasting for success in finding) so he ate and we headed out the door for another cold rainy day of finding. we were walking since my lack of a bike, and at the top of the first hill I look at the ground and what do I see? MY BIKE HANDLES! but no bike. so we picked 'em up and headed on into our area. so half an hour of trudging through water and super cold windy rain we made it to our area. we went and visited an old friend of ours (he's 88?) who just loves talking english to us, we shared about the book of mormon with him, he's pretty great, so we left and started walking down the street... and I look to my right and, "THATS MY BIKE!!!!!"  I scared my companion and myself a little! but it really was my bike just right there. my helmet and my umbrella were gone, but those are both much easier to replace, but my fast was answered in not quite the way I was expecting. so I stole my bike back from whoever took it from me haha. that bike never left my sight from the time I found it to the time I went back home that night. so thats kinda my week... no applause neccessary... and they're really just hoping the next play(week) goes a little bit smoother haha. I love you all and miracles will happen in the ways you're least expecting.
