Keep on Bikin

From Joram's 10/27 Letter:

Things are going pretty good here. We have still been biking about 30 miles a day and it is pretty rough ride, we have to go up and over a massive bridge [YouTube video of this bridge] over the I90 into morgan city, it is a big bridge and a rough ride but oh well. Its getting harder and harder to stay busy, everyday we are losing people to teach because they are sick of us and we have found every Spanish person in this entire area. So our numbers were pretty dang bad but we are doing our best and always trying to do the Lords work so thats good. I don't mind the little towns, its nice and the branch is strong, but small. My branch president is a Doctor so i have had some good talks with him. ... They are way cool, President Albert is from Hawaii and his wife is from Tonga. They have some pretty good stories. Apparently her grandpa was the king of Tonga but when he was baptized they told him to pick one or the other, so he said he would rather be a deacon than the king, so pretty cool stuff. "

[We asked about a Bro. Rivero who we bought a Spanish Triple for] "Bro. Rivero is a member in New Orleans who helped us out with rides for our investigators all the time and he gave his triple to a member that couldn't get one. It is hard to get triples for some reason, anyway i told him i would try to get one and you guys did so that is cool. It is also amazing that the companion i am with now actually baptized him a year ago so we get to go to the temple with him next month! So i will give that to him and watch him go through the temple. So that is way cool and i am excited. ... And the highlight of last week was when we were biking some guy stopped and pulled us over and talked to us and we found out he was an RM about 4 years ago but had fallen away. He had been drinking and stuff, but he took us to get food, gave us a ride to our apartment, saved us about 20 miles of biking, and tuned up my bike, AND he came to church for the first time in a year with us on Sunday, so that was amazing. We are trying to get him back on track and hopefully it will work.
