Vidalia - Week 14

Dear Family,

Happy Easter!  I had a pretty good week!  We were fed a lot by the members this week, and it was delicious!  I have learned a lot this week about the Savior, and myself.  The more you analyze the whole Atonement and learn about some of the history and facts about the matter, it is very symbolic, and has so much more powerful message.

Ever since I left the MTC I made it a goal to eat healthier so I can truly give the Lord all my strength. Other than what members feed me, I have cut out all white breads from my diet, increased in the amount of fruits and vegetables, taking plenty of supplemental pills, and eating a healthier variety of meats.  Which has allowed me to cook more and further improve my skill set.  Yep, I probably surprised you with that.  The most interesting thing I have eaten was the spiciest chili I have ever eaten in my life!  

We switch off with the car with the other Elders and ride our bikes every other day.  Everything in Vidalia is pretty small so it isn't too hard to bike there.  That does mean some days I just have to put on my rain coat and walk in the rain.

Our investigators are not progressing this week, because none of them came to church, not even for Easter.

Thank you so much.  I love you all so much!

Love,

Elder Hinrichs

P.S.  I would like to challenge you all to watch The District to get a good idea of what missionary work is like.  Also I would encourage you all to get a copy of preach my gospel, and look at the inspired principles that it contains, and try to apply them to your lives.  And, watch the joy that sharing the gospel will bring into your lives.
