Vidalia - Week 13

Dear Family,

I had a pretty good week this week.  It involved a lot of biking and my legs are a little bit tired, but luckily I'm used to it from track, so it isn't too bad.  Last Monday I got sick.  My stomach was swirling, I had the chills, and I was super tired.  I slept all day, I think I may have just physically hit my limit so my body made me rest.  But I am all better now and working just as hard as ever.

We usually get a tornado warning once or twice a month, but nothing ever happens.  I'm sure if there was a real tornado we would hear about it, and we would probably just stay inside.  But if there is just a warning, we still got out and proselyte.  Honestly, the water moccasin was more dangerous, because we were close to it and couldn't see it at first.  I don't think they will chase you but we chose not to find that one out the hard way.

We sat down with the Vallins and both of them want to go to the temple and get Patriarchal Blessings.  It was a really great lesson and it is exciting to see them grow in the gospel.  We were able to get Karen to conference, but only one session.  She really liked it, and likes the gospel, but still won't give up smoking, even if it is causing here major health problems.

This week we focused on finding new investigators.  We did find a lady named Melissa that is a really good investigator.  She feeds us snacks every time we go over, and she said that our religion just makes sense.  She also couldn't believe that we were so young, and going out to share the gospel.

We mostly just find our investigators by knocking or we just happen to run into them.  But most of them haven't made it past the plan of salvation yet.  I love y'all so much!

Love,
 
Elder Hinrichs
