(Excerpt) Ya trial week was fun, but I did definently grow. But this week was great! Eventhough it was bike week (LOTS of good exercise) we still had a lot of very productive days. Like I said in the email to dad, we have a new baptismal date (Normon). Yes, when he is baptized he will be called Normon the Mormon. But anyways, hes really excited about changing his life for the better. He came the church yesterday, and even stayed for a baptism too. They forgot to fill the font, so we had to wait a bit, but he said it was a day well spent. He loved how everyone was so welcoming (everyone in the Racine ward is EXTREMELY nice) and the peace that he felt at church. Hes going to be a great member. O but before I forget, last night I invited, and we taught, the ghetto Ice-cream truck man. So there are 3 ice cream trucks that drive around the part of town we go through a lot to get to most of our investigators. This particular one is the coolest, it is completely spraypainted from head to toe. Even the stop sign on the back is spray painted on. So as we rode our bikes through this part of town we saw the place where the Ice-cream man lives. It just so happened that he was cleaning out his truck, so I decided it would be sweet if we could say we invited the ghetto Ice-cream truck guy, so I did. Turns out he was very interested and we ended up talking to him for 30 min. It also turns out hes going to MIT next week, but we gave him a Book of Mormon and he said he'd have to read it before forward. We gave him our phone number and he said he'd call. So maybe when hes baptized he can give us a ride to church in the truck :)
