Thomson - Week 3

Dear Family,

This week has been good.  It involved a lot of biking and one awesome rainstorm. 
I mean this rainstorm was pretty much the most intense rainstorm I have seen, but luckily I was inside for most of it.  A couple days ago I had to bike to Harlem, because we scheduled with the sisters and a member of the bishopric a meeting on how we could improve the Harlem Ward.  It went great and we were able to express our ideas and opinions, and I think this will be a start of a great change.  Unfortunately Walter didn't make it to church this Sunday, but we will be seeing him on Tuesday.  I don't know if I mentioned this or not but last week I gave a talk in Sacrament Meeting on personal revelation, and this Sunday I bore my testimony. 
I am starting to get quite comfortable at the pulpit.

My bike crash that was epic actually didn't do any noticeable damage to my clothing and my bike is a little scratched but I think my hands and my elder took most of it.  There are three cars in our district, two in Grovetown, and one in Harlem.  For groceries we have to bike with them.  Usually we can fit most in our bags and hang the rest on the handle bars, but it’s not a problem other than looking funny.  We do our laundry in the apartment because we have a washer and dryer in there. 
Thomson is fun!  Have a great week y'all!

Love,

Elder Hinrichs
