I asked Dax to tell me about his companion and for more photos from mission and this is what I received this morning. . .
Well this picture should explain how our week has been. (drawing courtesy of me)
Our
car is almost dead @47000ish miles (50,000 miles is when they are
removed from the fleet and sold thus they "die") but along with that we
have spent this week taking the car to and from the shop, the car has
obvious problems but the shop won't do anything because there is no
check engine light and because there's a factory recall on the
electronics in the car so she's in the dealership till Wednesday. My
bike has been awesome but my companion has gone through three since
Tuesday from a mixture of broken derailleurs, exploded inner tubes and a
whole hockey sock full of mishaps so we have been using the chevrolegs
as our mode of transportation. We walked the 3 miles into our
area on Saturday. On top of all this, all we haven't really done much
missionary work. We've been praying for opportunities to come what may
and love it, we've learned that God has a sense of humour and that he
has tons of ways of helping us learn and get what we pray for. The
companion is really spiritually intense (he spent three hours reading
study manuals online while we were at the dealership) that's the best
way to describe him. . .

It seems like he is doing well and I'm glad he seems to be facing his challenges with an awesome attitude! This is one of the longer emails I have gotten from him so far. It seems like San Antonio agrees with him.
