Yeah well it's been the most interesting week of my mission, so if you don't read any of my letters, this one is one to read. Plus I bet you'll laugh.
Anyway so last pday right after I emailed me and Elder Middis went to get the bikes from the ludbeys to ride at the mtn bike track.
So we get there and I hit this 'jump it's a wood platform drop off. Not 2 minutes in my comp (slightly less comfortable and experienced on a bike) hits it as well, without even looking at the landing or anything 
I just see him absolutely nose the dive the sucker and he went over the bars. I was like oh shhhhnikies man.
So I get to him and he can't really speak and he's just laying there. Landed right on his shoulder and pretty sure it is broke. can't move at all or get up so I called the mission nurse (3 hours away) and then called a member in the area who was a nurse.
Elder thinks he needs an ambulance and the mission nurse is skeptical cause his legs were fine to walk. Anywayyyy ends up we get an ambulance and everything and spend 3 hours at the hospital. Ended up with a fractured collar bone.
Ludbey's offered that we could stay at their place because Elder Middis was in such bad shape and they had a nice bed, bathroom and could take care of him. So we have been staying here for the past week!!
It's good though because then I'm not just sitting in our flat the entire day, they are on a farm so I can stay busy working. Anyway really we haven't done much because it's impossible. But the studies go on! The Lord had blessed up with an amazing family to take care of us.
We also finally got to watch conference and it was amazing--more on that next week!
Well love you all hope it's been a good week for ya and it's cooling off up north, it's heating up here.
Elder Satterthwaite
