Thank you so much for your prayers this week in regards to my bike accident, they have been much needed as I am slowly recovering. This is what happened-- on Tuesday nights, I ride with a group of cyclists from Terre Haute. I was in a group of about 20 riders cycling at about 30 mph heading down a hill. A fellow rider accidently merged into me knocking me off of my bike and onto the asphalt. Shortly after impact, another rider (Dan) could not avoid me and hit me, sending him into the road. He was immediately knocked unconscious, and we were both rushed via ambulance to the ER. His injuries include a concussion, 12 stitches above his eye, 4 fractured teeth, and a broken wrist. By Gods grace I managed to get by with no major injuries but just a lot of road rash on my elbows, knees, hip, hands, and right leg. The impact also severely bruised my hip and lower back. This is what is giving me the most trouble. Today has been better, but until yesterday I couldn't even sit or stand up on my own strength. This was a problem knowing that move in for freshmen is on Saturday the 16th.
As of now I am making progress. I can get up on my own and walk around, but with a lot of pain. I will really need alot of prayer tomorrow as I head to the dorms at 8 to meet students moving in. I pray to keep meeting and greeting until 12 that night. (Tiffany will be doing the same)
The next few weeks will be packed. It is a critical time on the campus for building relationships. We will be doing a lot of events to build relationships as well as taking advantage of campus events to connect with students. These connections will prayerfully lead to many Gospel conversations. Practically, I need prayer for physical strength these next few weeks. Between Tiffany and I there are over 200 students we are aspiring to meet the next couple days, so pray for us in boldness and favor with our new relationships.
Thank you for your prayers, and I cannot stress how critical these next couple weeks are. Pray, pray, pray!
We love you all and appreciate you greatly.
Kyle and Tiffany
